Via Paradise by John Blake, finding humour in ridiculous times

Do you ever feel that you’ve had enough and would just like to stay in bed? What if everyone in Britain did just that?

In John Blake’s hilarious satire, that is just what has happened and the country has ground to a halt. With Parliament in summer recess, government is down to the hungover prime minister and some very ill-chosen emergency assistance. Can they get things going? Can they even find the PM’s trousers and some serviceable transport? Or will they remain trapped in Paradise Woods by the vigilante vicar of Eden?

If you are disillusionned by the state of the country and the world, take a break and have a laugh at the downright ridiculous state of affairs with this very clever, fast-paced farce.
