Default how to be correct

How to be Right. James Delingpole
I hesitated a bit before recommending this book because Delingpole is deliberately outre (he praises foie gras, smoking and illegal drugs), and he is a bit blunt (he sums up Edward Heath in one word).

However, I like his definitions. For example:
Quote:
Little Englander
(n.) Idiot who stubbornly refuses to accept that higher taxes, greater bureaucracy, loss of national soverignty and the introduction of wave upon wave of pointless, meddling, irritating, pettifogging regulations are just what Britain needs.
He also hits the nail on the head with regard to: the difference between a major and a minor car crime, statistics we do not care about, amoral New Labour voting lawyers, how to shut down an argument and multiculturalism.
