It is a dark time for Britain. The year is 2024 and the once freedom-loving nation has found itself ruled by the iron fist of the Broadcasting for Britain Company, or BBC for short, an organisation that for a hundred years presented itself as a benign state broadcaster whilst surreptitiously using its insidious influence to manipulate the public in order to bring about the one goal of its secret Great Agenda: total control of the country. Emerging triumphant from the chaos of a brutal and bloody civil war it secretly engineered, the BBC has ushered in a new reign of terror, turning Britain into a horrifying dystopia where freedom of speech and thought are but distant memories and, under the dictatorship of a cruel tyrant suspected of long since having lost his mind, controls everything from politics to finance, manipulating history and reality for its own ends. Daring to challenge or question its authority leads to unthinkable consequences, with the Isle of Wight having been repurposed as an internment camp for licence fee evaders, whilst the BBC's much-feared paramilitary wing roams the country abducting anyone even suspected of having committed anti-BBC Thought-Crime. Into this waking nightmare is thrown John Smith, an everyday nobody who finds himself taken to one of the dreaded BBC Re-Education Camps to atone for his crimes, without ever being told what they are. But here he finds others like him, free-thinkers and idealists who, inspired by a heretical, banned book that dares to mock their BBC overlords, dream of a world free from tyranny and oppression, only to eventually discover the truth is far more bizarre, sinister and downright terrifying than they could possibly have imagined... This is the tale of the grim future awaiting Britain. This is the book that could change the world. This is... The Book the BBC Tried to BAN! PRAISE FOR 'THE BOOK THE BBC TRIED TO BAN!': 'BBC top brass had better place an order for some fresh underpants, because they'll almost certainly soil the ones they're wearing once they read this!' - Jeff Token, The North West Wales Literary Scrutiniser 'If the BBC is some sort of deranged, woke cult then consider this book to be the deprogramming manual!' - Mica Jackson, The Non-Partisan Review 'The fact that many will love this book yet be terrified to say so is exactly why it needed to be written. A brutal deconstruction of the subtle hypocrisy that permeates every aspect of the media, this book, like any great work, will truly terrify those in power, and whilst there will be many who are offended by it they will also be unable to deny its truth. Read it now before it really is banned!' - ILikeToReadAboutThings.com 'This book will make you question EVERYTHING and we don't think there's ANYONE who'll make it to the end without having their most sacred values questioned!' - Western Skegness Literary Review 'Combining the inventiveness of BS Johnson, the brutal pessimism of George Orwell, the post-modern mystery of Paul Auster and the surreal hilarity of Monty Python, this book will quite literally BLOW your BRAIN!' - BrilliantBooksBlog.com 'Once in a lifetime comes a book that is so incendiary, so powerful, written by an author possessed of such prophetic vision that once you have read it you will never see the world in the same way again, and this truly is that book. Tantalisingly non-PC, with an Orton-esque sense of playfulness and danger, this is the antithesis of a gammony polemic, in which the writing fizzes and sparkles with hilarity and energy. Also, it says some pretty powerful things about Mrs Brown's Boys, things that have gone unsaid for too long but cannot be denied.' - Betty McCabe, The North Teesside Literary Review 'In the name of love, tolerance, diversity and equality, we call for the author of this sickening work to be KILLED!' - Harry Snowflake-Watson, WokeNews.com
