No jargon, no spin and no bad suits. Welcome to a humorous, confrontational - and entirely biased - guide to modern politics.

Based partly on questionaire responses from UK teenagers, Cutting Through The Crap is a guide to politics for people who don't really like politics. If you want to know how the system works without having to listen to all those grey politicians in their grey suits talking in long-winded sentences then this book is for you.

Ever wondered why the USA should include itself as an enemy in the war on terror? Wanna find out who supplied Saddam Hussein with the chemicals he used to kill people? Or why Tony Balir and his mates allow the rich to avoid paying taxes whilst they stick it to the rest of us?

How about schools that segregate young people according to their religion or teach their pupils that Adam and Eve is scientific fact? And exactly why do politicians answer one question with the answer to another, entirely different question?

From Parliament, parties and voting to race, asylum, Iraq and everything in between, this book tells it like it is...if you think like me, that is. Not that it doesn't contain the facts. Every source, every quote, every figure is checkable. But don't believe what I tell you. Get angry and get an opinion and make those lazy monkeys in Parliament earn their money for a change.

Not suitable for Politicians.
