standout  authentic voice of a generation' Herald'McGarvey is a rarity: a working-class writer
who has fought to make the middle-class world hear what he has to say' Nick Cohen  GuardianWhy
are the rich getting richer while the poor only get poorer? How is it possible that in a
wealthy  civilised democracy cruelty and inequality are perpetuated by our own public services?
And how come  if all the best people are in all the top jobs  Britain is such an unmitigated
bin fire?Join Darren McGarvey on a journey through a divided Britain in search of answers. Here
our latter-day Orwell exposes the true scale of Britain's social ills and reveals why our
current political class  those tasked with bringing solutions  are so distanced from our lived
experience that they are the last people you'd want fighting your corner.Praise for Darren
