Fairly anarchic in a stuffy old Gentleman kind of way. Humorous, but more of a skip-through-it kind of way. Capitalising on the popularity of The Pub Landlord back in the day, which is fair enough. I certainly fell for it.

Had to go slow with this one. When I imagined him saying everything that was written down, it was good: I understand the persona he has.
The humour didn't roll off the page in the same way. That photoshopped picture of his face over Kennedy's (taken minutes before JFK was assassinated) really missed the mark (no pun intended).
Nonetheless I'm glad I read this- some of the satire was brilliant, but the "edgy" stuff felt tired and undermined the better social commentary in there
