| Publisher Description: This collection of essays has been updated for 2016, with subjects ranging from Go-Pro cycling vigilantes, to Simon Cowell's circus of fear. How did London become a separate economy from the rest of the UK and how does London culture differ from the Provinces? There is a new global elite, which can be compared to Roman patricians; exempt from taxation and bending the law to suit themselves. What will happen when Putin's monarchy comes to an end? From the rise and fall of Jeremy Clarkson, to the reasons why the idea of an Islamic Caliphate is so potent, so perfectly timed, there are ideas here that can fuel debate. But will we have one in the future, when social media has finally killed off free speech? |
