House of Fun is a bumper collection of Simon Hoggart's finest and funniest sketches written since he took up the poisoned quill twenty years ago. It is instant history with added jokes. Read about how John Major learned the English language from his time in Nigeria. There is Tony Blair with his verb-free sentences which imply everything and promise nothing. Gordon Brown the grumpiest prime minister of recent years both Stalin and Mr Bean. And now David Cameron - who really really hates being drawn with a condom on his head. Let's not forget John Prescott who can wrestle the English language to the mat and win by two falls to a submission Michael Fabricant with his hairpiece stolen from the tail of a My Little Pony" Sir Peter Tapsell a grandee so grand that when he rises to speak Hansard writers are replaced by a crack team of monks to write up his words in illuminated lettering. Nick Clegg with his default expression of a man's whose chldren's puppy is still missing. And of course the famous 2010 press conference in the garden of Downing Street a love-in that would have been illegal in 44 American states.This book will have you laughing chuckling roaring sniggering and sometimes despairing.
