Items related to The British Constitution: First Draft
Exactly 800 years ago, Magna Carta established the right not to be thrown in the Tower of London for being slightly irritating, which is the closest the Brits have ever got to a written constitution. But come on! Things have moved on since King John. Isn't it time they had another bash at setting down a few laws and principles for everyone to live by? Isn't it time they knew how to queue properly, how to banter within the limits of decency, how to handshake in a regal fashion, how to appropriately and committedly observe the weather, and how to competitively own pets? It will no doubt confuse the Taliban, perplex Americans, and move the French to shrug their shoulders and say nothing, but for the good people of the UK, this first draft of the British Constitution sets out and celebrates the very best bits of being British.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Americans are particularly keen on their right to bear arms. This strikes the British as odd, largely because there are no longer bears in Britain so the idea of ursine limbs for all is impractical at best. But, strikingly, America has a whole host of these crack-pot rights promised to its citizens, which over time have come to define the very essence of American-ness. Or brashness, as we like to say. They call it their Bill of Rights, which is a bit grand when you consider it's just a really fancy list. And considering the British probably invented lists - a list, after all, is just a queue of words and everyone knows the British invented queuing - is it not time to have a very brilliant, very better and and very British version ? On the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, bestselling-humorist Guy Browning - the author of the phenomenally successful Never Hit a Jellyfish with a Spade - has a bash at his own immortal document: a British Bill of Rights, celebrating the right bits of Britishness.
