Depraved New World: Please Hold, the Government Will Be With You Shortly by John Crace |
The machinations of the last ten years have been manna from heaven for political sketch writers. Crace’s latest anthology takes in Partygate, lettuces, the psychodrama of Tory leadership contests and the inept administrations of a plethora of recent leaders. Blisteringly hilarious though this ‘tour-de-farce’ is, a more sober judgement points to the worrying collapse of standards and ethics in British politics. It will, sadly, take many years to redress the damage to this country’s reputation for good governance.
