Has anyone ever read the book β€œStark” by Ben Elton? From about 1989, by a top class comedian, one of the first British political alternative left wing comedians.

A novel about capitalism and climate change due to pollution, which is even more relevant today, blisteringly funny.

Only mention it because of a character called Gordon Gordon, a Nazi skinhead thug in Australia. The description of his character and organisation is soooooo like the Bundy Brigade.

Well worth a read. In fact the history of late 80s British political comedy is amazing. So many famous names came from it. Same era as Blackadder.
