Includes::
a look at: Who claimed what?; Quiz
- match the claim to the political party; The Great Pension Dodge; biggest & smallest spenders; keeping it in the family, or how to employ your spouse/children & parents; how much taxpayers' money does it take to change a lightbulb? & much, much, MUCH more. Unfortunately for us. But it's not only our elected officials who have their snouts in the trough. We also look at absurd concert "riders" (who demanded a luxury 5-bedroom prefabricated house to be built within the confines of the O2 Arena in London for their concert?), & other political piggies from around the world (how many shoes does Imelda Marcos have? What made up Sarah Palin's $150K campaign wardrobe?). Plus all the other people pocketing our cash
- from bankers to arms dealers
- & corporate highwaymen. & finally a guide to making the most of your own expense account, including a handy form to copy so you can claim this book back on expenses.

The Little Book Of Boxing

Boxing has a long and eventful history and its drama, excitement and humour are covered in this fascinating account of the noble - and sometimes ignoble - art all over the world. From the bare-knuckle days when the Duke of Cumberland callously abandoned his protege Jack Broughton when the latter could no longer fight on because he was blind, to 1964, when the charismatic Muhammad Ali knocked out Sonny Liston with a 'phantom punch' that no one in the audience saw thrown. Featured here are the new batch of twentieth-century fighters from Amir Khan and Ricky Hatton at one end of the scale to the dreaded 'Beast from the East', the 7ft tall Russian Nikolai Valuev, who powered his inexorable way to the world heavyweight title. This book presents a vivid picture of the sport rightly known as
the hardest game. Gallant stands, spectacular 'dives' audacious cons and heartbreaking defeats combine to present boxing in all its multi-faceted confusion and glory.
