Book Description

November 13, 2008
Look around you. The world is going to hell. Standards have fallen, values have been pawned, young people think 'innit' is a word and decent, honest citizens can't walk down the street without being set upon by an exploding terrorist or globally-warmed to death. We need to pick ourselves up. We need to rebuild this Once Great Nation. But, most of all, we need to be sure it's all somebody else's fault. From politicians to The Youth of Today, from hapless junior civil servants to Russian oligarchs, from the secret all-powerful society that really runs the world to Baroness Thatcher, IT WASN'T ME provides cast iron proof that there's someone to blame for the fact that the world is going to hell in a Happy Meal Box and -- more importantly -- that it definitely isn't you. Chris Addison, award-winning writer, actor, supreme abdicator of responsibility, takes us on a hysterical journey through the many occasions modern society affords to feel better about our own faults by pointing out bigger ones in others. Righteousness has never felt better.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'His scathing wit deserves "Comic Laureate" status' -- The Sunday Times 'If there were a comedy GCSE, Chris Addison would be a set text' -- Observer 'He's brilliant, no question' -- The Times
