A very funny send-up of Salman Rushdie's "Satanic Verses" among 96 pages of satire and spoof written by the editors and writers of "Private Eye", the British precursor of "Spy" magazine and an institution among Brits in the 60s/70s/80s/90s.

In this "Guide to Modern Britain," the team at Have I Got News for You attempts to guide you around, er, modern Britain.With reassuringly jaundiced reflections on everything from the global recession, religion and the Royal Family to the NHS, education and the media, it's a guide to the UK's most pressing questions of the moment and a handy primer to the British Constitution, even though we don't actually have one. (How clever is that?)Think of it as the sort of manual you get with a car - enough information to help you check the oil, though not enough to re-balance the steering.The "Have I Got News for You Guide to Modern Britain" covers these and many other major issues in an entirely non-judgmental, non-PC, non-party-political, non-tax-deductible, non-partisan, non-invasive, non-intrusive, non-comprehensive and non-non-profit-making way. It's guaranteed to entertain, enlighten and enrage in equal measure.

Miles Kington wrote a column a day for more than 30 years. In that time he delighted, amused and gently poked fun at a large proportion of the UK population. This book is a selection of some of his best pieces.

The true and extraordinary story of the satirical newspaper created in the mud and mayhem of the Somme, interspersed with comic sketches and spoofs from the vivid imagination of those on the front line.
