The Bumper Book of Government Waste by Matthew Elliott
Unearths a GBP101 billion of government misspending paid by the taxpayer. This book includes a few examples of where that money has gone: GBP280,000 on a conference addressed by Blair and Brown on value for money in the public services; and GBP400 million on 'cost control' for the Olympic Games.
Matthew Elliott is co-founder and Chief Executive of The TaxPayers' Alliance, a pressure group launched in 2004 to represent taxpayers in the corridors of power and to fight for lower taxes. Now with over 15,000 supporters, it generates more media coverage than any other independent political organisation in the UK.Dr Lee Rotherham is also by background a linguist and historian. His Mediaeval Occitan was just one of several languages that proved to be absolutely useless when he acted as an advisor on the Convention that drafted the thoroughly despicable EU Constitution. He has advised three successive Shadow Foreign Secretaries, though the turnover wasn't his fault. A prominent Eurosceptic, hunted across the continent by bands of pro-Brussels politicians carrying lit torches and pitchforks, he has been widely published.
