Customer Reviews

Not so much a 'wake-up call 'as the last trumpet - Rated 5/5
This is the most serious book I have ever read - and I am over 70 and relatively well-educated and informed. The Epilogue - and especially the third from final paragraph - should be read, marked, learned and inwardly digested by all thinking people from sixth-formers to geriatrics like me. If I am left with one thought after reading this meticulously documented catalogue of ignorant and disgraceful behaviour, it is how badly our UK legislators and officials have performed over the past 30-40 years and how little they deserve, or have deserved, their salaries, expenses and pensions. All these things have happened on their watch - a watch we relied on them to keep faithfully and conscientously. Perhaps in this story lies the real reason why we have, maybe unconsciously until now, come to despise and mistrust them all.


A real eye opener! - Rated 5/5
A great read, covering the major scare stories of our time and exposing them. Even if you're sceptical about being sceptical, you owe it to yourself to explore all the options and have an informed opinion, rather than shaped by the fear mongering press.


Required reading - Rated 5/5
This should be required reading for every voter! I've always thought some of these fiascos defied common sense but hadn't realised just how far down this road the lunatics running the asylum had taken us!


Must read for all free-thinkers - Rated 5/5
This book is both fascinating, authoritative and excellently referenced.

The chapter on 'satanic abuse' nearly had me in tears of rage, such was the sinister and quite outrageous behaviour of those involved.


Compulsive and scary in its own right - Rated 5/5
The content has been reviewed excellently here already - I can't add anything to those reviews.

However, the thing that struck me about the book, which was as compulsive as any I can remember, was the level-headedness with which the facts were revealed. Only knowing a couple of these case studies in any depth (including the 'climate crisis' nonsense), I was shocked at how often basic corroboration of science or proclamations has been missing, and have been particularly concerned at the absence of investigative journalism. (I was delighted that they included the BBC's coverage of Live Earth - I was horrified that the BBC chose its role as that of 'advocate' instead of balanced and challenging news carrier.)

The book carefully avoids seeming like a conspiracy-theorists' manifesto, carefully unpicking the anatomy of scares.

If only this book, instead of An Inconvenient Truth, were to be circulated to all schools in the UK.
