  Tony Parsons is a regular commentator on popular culture and his views are often contentious. His television work such as The Tattooed Jungle and A Clockwork Orange achieved acclaim and also many complaints. This book draws from the best and most provocative of Parson's writing.

From The Tattooed Jungle to The Polenta Jungle , why women shouldn't drink and why David Bowie did, from The Clash to Suede, it offers Parson's views of Britain.
