Selfish Whining Monkeys: How We Ended Up Greedy, Narcissistic and Unhappy

With a sharp eye for the magnificently absurd, Rod Liddle sets light to modern-day Britain.

Praise for Rod Liddle:

• "One of Britain’s funniest, most daring columnists. If he weren’t so offensive you’d almost call him a national treasure" – Mail on Sunday

A Self-Reflection on Modern Britain:

"I, and my generation, seem feckless and irresponsible, endlessly selfish, whining, avaricious, self-deluding, self-obsessed, spoiled and corrupt and ill."

What Happened to Us?

Rod Liddle asks:
What has transformed the British—once admired for their unassuming, stiff-upper-lipped capacity for 'muddling through'—into the feckless, obese, self-deluding, avaricious, and self-obsessed whingers we have become?

A Savagely Funny Critique:

• Savagely funny and relentlessly contrary, yet with a poignant sense of all that we have lost.
• Rod Liddle mercilessly exposes the absurdity, cant, and humbuggery of the way we live now.
