A new book from Dalrymple, in which he dissects Britain’s cultural decline through a series of observations of everyday slovenliness. From paved-over front gardens to indifference toward civic beauty, he argues that a collective lack of care for what is held in common is eroding the nation’s spirit.
This book is a humorous, and sometimes acerbic, examination of modern Britain’s peculiar ailment and how to restore civic pride and end performative behaviour.
