Life as Sutch - Tapa dura

SCREAMING LORD DAVID SUTCH is the leader of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party (OMRLP), a British organisation designed to lighten up politics. In his (ghost-written) autobiography, he tells his story from his early days as a rock-singer to entering politics and standing at his first election, to his later successes up to 1992, the books' publication date. Looking a little long in the tooth now, while we wait for a new edition this still provides a hilarious introduction to his barmy world and his policies. Try out this: he believes, if elected Prime Minister, he would: * tow Britain 200 miles south where it's warmer * go onto metric time (10 hours per day) * harness the power of cremated bodies as renewable energy source, while saving graveyard space. If this appeals to you, read on; if not, then you probably won't enjoy it. There's no real gossip about his life; he deals with his two marriages in half a page, but watch as he brazenly claims the credit for just about every major political event in recent British history, such as: * the downfall of Harold MacMillan * the downfall of Margaret Thatcher * the downfall of John Major and just about everything in between. Great fun, as long as you don't believe everything you read. --Amazon customer
