Did you know that foreigners who want to live in Britain have to pass a government test to get in? It`s true, & some of the questions are harder than ` Why does everyone hate Manchester United?`. So the ” Have I Got News For You” team have, in a moving & totally out of character display of public-spiritedness, compiled this ” Guide to Modern Britain” to help guide you around, er, modern Britain. With reassuringly jaundiced reflections on everything from the global recession, religion & the Royal Family to the NHS, education & the media, it`s a handy primer to the British Constitution, even though we don`t actually have one. (How clever is that?) Think of it as the sort of manual you get with a car
- enough information to help you check the oil, though not enough to re-balance the steering. Packed with useless facts & unhelpful cynicism, the ” Have I Got News for You Guide to Modern Britain” will help you understand exactly how the most ingenious, resilient, resourceful & proudest people on earth became the Twittering, touchy-feely, fame-obsessed, flu-fearing wimps that they are today.

” Vaclav Havel: iconoclast & philosopher-king, an internationally successful playwright who became a political dissident & then, reluctantly, a president. His pivotal role in the Velvet Revolution, the end of Communism & the birth of a modern, west-facing Czech Republic makes him a key figure of the twentieth century. He was a character of great contradictions, a courageous visionary who put his life at risk, a leader who inspired great loyalty; yet a man wracked with doubt, self-criticism, depression & despair. Above all he was an intellectual & artist, always true to himself, someone who never lost a profound sense of the absurd. Michael antovsky was one of Havel`s closest friends. They met as dissidents under Communism, & when a frail Havel was released from prison in May 1989 just months before the Velvet Revolution it was antovsky who carried his bag for him; during Havel`s first presidency antovsky was his press secretary, speech writer & translator, & their friendship endured until Havel`s death in 2011. He is therefore uniquely placed as Havel`s biographer; a rare witness to this most extraordinary life.” ...
