If...goes Down the John

The True Tale of a remarkably satisfactory innings that led to victory.

Things looked bad. His side needed 326 to win and time was running out. Only one man had the balls to say he could do it in singles. One man alone at the crease assisted only by a large number of national newspapers, the city, the Banks, an undisclosed sum of money, the CBI, the CIA, MI5, MI6 and the divine intervention of Dame Barbara Cartland.

The man was John Major, the caring guy with the warm handshake and the Social Fund loan, who had himself looked poverty in the eye and given it one of his nicest smiles. Confident and fiscally prudent with an eleven billion pound asset hole, a man with a plan at the helm of a Nation at ease with itself.

Now at long last you can possess in one small volume the complete ball-by-ball account of John Major's record breaking first innings as it appeared daily from the pen of Silly Mid-off cartoonist Steve Bell in the pages of the Guardian newspaper.
