Reviews
"A cynic's book that annoyed me." - Leed Mercury
"Thousands of people are entertained every Saturday at London's Marble Arch by an Irishman in a black hat whose fluency, bluntness and irresponsibility are unfailingly witty. His name is Bonar Thompson, and he preaches nothing. His philosophy is one of disillusion: he spares no person, creed or institution. He is the kind of outdoor orators, and that is good enough for him-and for us." - Daily Herald
"A somewhat irritating but entertaining book." - Socialist Standard
