[Marko8 · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was quite funny, and entertaining. I think Steve Bell definitely finds very smart and creative ways to satirize those politicians, and I love that all his art has color (thank you). I also love that he includes summaries of the events, so that the reader knows what he is reading about.

Now, at the beginning, I found some of the strips utterly violent, but thankfully throughout this becomes less intense. And I will say some things did go over my head (especially writing in a Scottish dialect), but I understood the vast majority.

Would I recommend this book to other people? Maybe. For those that are very much into political satire, and there are plenty of those.

You have to be in the mood but if you are, Steve Bell's social and political commentary remains searing and hilarious.
