Margaret Thatcher terminally ruptured national unity. The creators of EastEnders trashed our brand over high tea. These, Letts argues, are the people who made our country the ugly, ignorant, beer-ridden and brawling bum of the Western world. Here are the fools, knaves and vulgarians who ripped up British honour and glory and set in its place the tawdry and the trite.
