Publisher's Summary
Twitter hero James Felton brings you the painfully funny history of Britain you were never taught at school, chronicling 52 of the most ludicrous, weird and downright 'baddie' things we Brits* have done to the world since time immemorial - before conveniently forgetting all about them, of course. Including:
- Starting wars with China when they didn't buy enough of our class A drugs
- Inventing a law so we didn't have to return objects we'd blatantly stolen from other countries
- Casually creating muzzles for women
- And almost going to war over a crime committed by a pig
52 TIMES BRITAIN WAS A BELLEND will complete your knowledge of this sceptred isle in ways you never expected. So if you've ever wondered how we put the 'Great' in 'Great Britain', wonder no more . . .
*And when we say British, for the most part we unfortunately just mean the English.

Hilarious
Hilarious. Also, horrific. And deeply, deeply shameful.
Would be more hilarious if we had actually learnt anything from the mistakes of our past. But still, hilarious.

Extremely funny - an absolute must-read!
Not only is this one of the funniest books I've ever read, it's also extremely informative too. It's a genuine illustration of why we can't be selective when telling stories about the past that's told with candour, honesty and laugh-out-loud humour. Whole-heartedly recommend this book!

Absolutely loved it!
This was laugh-out-loud funny and I'd listen to it again and again.
The narrator was perfect and delivers the British humour in true style.
Listen to this, you'll love it!
