The Pub Landlord says:

My last book was all about helping Great Britain get back on her feet by providing an injection of Common Sense to make up for all the balls and waffle we've been subjected to in this once great nation of ours. This time it's personal - I'm offering to step out from behind the taps here and try to show you the way.

This time I'm giving you a man to man chat, a chance for you sit yourself down and stand on your own two feet.

The first principle of Helping Yourself is this: in order to take one step forward, we must first take two steps backwards. Because you will only truly know that you are moving forwards if you have first seen what it's like to go backwards.

This book is designed to equip you to take those crucial backwards steps. In fact, once you have read Think Yourself British you will undoubtedly become one of the most backwards people you know.

And because you bought this book, together we can fix Broken Britain.
