Hope the one that thought of this is not hauled over the coals. Inspired work

What books would YOU put behind him or any other Politician if you had the choice ?

1984 would be the first one I picked and it would go front and centre

It is indeed very clever.

I think I would put Roger Hargreave’s ‘Mr Noisy’ on view.

It’s about a rude obnoxious man who thinks he can get what he wants by shouting louder than everyone else.

Or, depending on your point of view, it is also about a man who realises his errors after the public spoke and changed his ways. Everyone lived happily ever after.

You could do this with any book, I would imagine. But, yes, very clever.
