Politicians' words often come back to haunt them. From gaffes and double entendres to sheer lies, this book is a treasure trove of inappropriate comment,eg: "There's a whole range of things we're doing with condoms" Norman Fowler, Health Minister, 1987 "This is a great day for France" Richard Nixon at President Pompidou's funeral. "A howlingly funny book which records some of the low points in soundbite society." TLS "Not just a catalogue of obvious howlers...also explores political mendacityin all its subtle manifestations". Sunday Telegraph

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "This is a great day for france" - Nixon at President Pompidou's funeral. "How nice to see you all here" - Roy Jenkins visiting a prison. "There will be no great war in Europe" - "Daily Express" January 1939. "I am anti-fascist and anti-semitic" - George Bush. Gaffes, errors of judgement, straightforward abuse - these have been part and parcel of politics through the centuries, in all countries. Matthew Parris brings the best together in an entertaining collection, and along the way makes one or two serious points about what we expect from our politicians. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR004049895
