Stop Bloody Bossing Me About How We Need to Stop Being Told What to Do
Stop Bloody Bossing Me About How We Need to Stop Being Told What to Do

Witty retort to modern authoritative overreach.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by societal pressures and a seemingly endless list of dos and don'ts, Quentin Letts's "Stop Bloody Bossing Me About" could be the cathartic reprieve you need. It's a humorous yet sharp critique of the current state of control and conformity. Letts's book might just resonate with your desire for a little more freedom and a good laugh at the expense of those who take themselves too seriously.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The inimitable Quentin Letts dares to say in a new book what we've all been secretly thinking. Mail on Sunday. Fuming and chuckling by turns, Daily Telegraph. Underneath the jocularity of Letts's style is a lot of real anger, Roger Lewis, The Times. Hands, face, space. Curfews. Don't drink. Bend your knees. Conform, obey, comply — surrender. British life has become infested by bossiness. Post Lockdown, Quentin Letts storms back with a vituperative howl against the 'bossocracy.' They tell us what to do, what to say, how to think. Letts gives them a prolonged, resonant raspberry. He names the guilty men and Dominic Cummings, Prof Neil Ferguson, that strutting self-polisher Nicola Sturgeon, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Cressida Dick, Michael Gove, even the sainted Sir David Attenborough. Bang! They all take a barrel. And then there's publicity-prone plonker Matt Hancock posing for photographs while doing his 'Mr Fit' press-ups. Reasonable people have had enough of being bossed about. And when reasonable people stop respecting the law, society has a problem. Brilliantly critical, but always warm-hearted and fair, Rory Knight Bruce, The Field.
