description: You would be instantly forgiven if you thought that the ability to abuse and outrage, and find negative things to say about other politicians is imperative for those embarking on a British political career. As author Greg Knight explains, the crescendo of emotion, the torrent of abuse and the flash of bad temper are the ingredients which make a good political speech truly great. British politicians are only too aware that gratuitously insulting oponents and even colleagues can enliven the dullest of speeches, and to celebrate the wealth of vitriol heard over the centuries, Greg Knight has compiled this stinging collection of waspishness, acerbity, ill-temper and downright rudeness. Enjoy!
