52 Times Britain Was a Bellend

The History You Didn't Get Taught at School

Twitter hero James Felton brings you the painfully funny history of Britain you were never taught at school, chronicling 52 of the most ludicrous, weird and downright 'baddie' things we Brits* have done to the world since time immemorial - before conveniently forgetting all about them, of course. Including:

• Starting wars with China when they didn't buy enough of our class A drugs
• Inventing a law so we didn't have to return objects we'd blatantly stolen from other countries
• Casually creating muzzles for women
• And almost going to war over a crime committed by a pig

52 TIMES BRITAIN WAS A BELLEND will complete your knowledge of this sceptred isle in ways you never expected. So if you've ever wondered how we put the 'Great' in 'Great Britain', wonder no more . . .

*And when we say British, for the most part we unfortunately just mean the English.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Scurrilous, scandalous and frequently disgusting. I absolutely loved it." (James O'Brien)

Great book well done 👍🏽

I love this book. It’s a hilariously funny look into British history. Probably the best audiobook I’ve listened to this year. A MUST LISTEN

Amazing narration

These kinds of essays can get a little one-note, but the narrator makes a separate excellent meal of each one.

School Textbook

A book with a purpose, a book with a context. Twenty years ago I'd give a 3-star review for being cute. In today's Brexit era, this is neccessary information. Too many voters learn history through tabloid headlines and cut-n-paste documentaries. See ya on Twitter James!
