Reviews

[Heather · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good brief read if you need convincing that the aims of the Conservative party remain the same as they've been since the 80s (namely to drive capital to the wealthy and break the backs of trade unions) and want to remember a time when the Labour hard left were considered more than just a fringe group.
