Reviews
I really enjoyed the insider's account of the failure of the Tories' Big Society idea as well as the description of the endless frustration of attempting to engage previous governments in effecting social change. Yet this is not a disillusioned book. Adman and campaigner Twivy remains positive, energetic and commited to a sense of community. He is still trying to convince friends like me to stop being so negative and to share his optimism in a new kind of politics. If that sounds a bit Russel Brand-y then it is meant in a good way. Ian Hislop [Twivy] brilliantly portrays the ups and downs of fighting for change. Sunday Mirror
