Alec Hawkes is an ordinary bloke who has spent his life doing ordinary jobs. Now in his early fifties, he attended ordinary schools as he grew up in the 1960's and 70's. A typical ordinary, modest Englishman, he is sick of being lied to by the politicians who treat him and his fellow countrymen and women as fools. A plea for some common sense to return is the primary message in this witty little book.
