Nick Cohen always has to be worth reading., June 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cruel Britannia (Hardcover)
Nick Cohen has the keenest and most cynical of insights. He is not a journalist who can be cosied along, or made to "dance".
Given his unwelcome and sensational revelations, the establishment - speaking broadly - quite understandably hates him to a serious degree in high circles, and his continued survival can only be attributed to his increasing public profile.
Watch this man. He's a danger to all the myths we hold dear.
(His columns have also made The Observer worth reading again.)
No wonder the wonks in Labour hate this man. Cohen has rumbled them.
-Glenn.

Savage dissection of Blairism, August 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cruel Britannia (Hardcover)
This is a savage dissection of Blairism from the Left. It should be read in conjunction with Hal Colebatch's Blair's Britain (Claridge Press), which comes from the conservative side but in a strange way compliments it. The two authors would probably disagree with each other's priorities but both see cruelty, social destruction and nihilism behind the smiling mask of Blair's "Third Way." Between them they cover the field.
