Whether we have children or not we all want the future to be fairer and happier; and Zoe Williams believes that we need to make that happen collectively. GET IT TOGETHERis a rousing call to arms for us all to play our part in creating a more equal society. Zoe believes that it's not enough to sit back and watch as our NHS slides away from us; as the young and low earners are forced out of London; as hundreds of thousands of people nationally drift into poverty; as education becomes increasingly divided and as the wealthiest five people in Britain earn more than the poorest 20%. Zoe will address key questions including- has the NHS had its day; has an immigrant stolen your job; have you ever wondered why you can't afford a house; and who got us into this mess anyway? She will then offer up, in answer, a combination of fact, opinion and debate that will be as inspiring as it is important. Zoe Williams brings together here all the arguments that occupy the current political landscape and shows us that on all levels, it's lunacy to be anything other than left-wing unless you're actually already an oligarch. She offers us the debate in a truly entertaining way - she's pacey, conversational and funny. This is a road map for a better future that will be a major part of the debate in the run up to the election next May.… (plus d'informations)

DON'T BE FOOLED BY THIS BOOK...

When I started reading Zoe Williams, 'get it together', I thought that I wasn't going to enjoy it. It is not like the majority of political books. Whilst it has a left wing bias, it does not push any political party and does not take the usual preachy style. Zoe simply puts the facts to her audience, in a light-hearted eminently readable format. The inevitable conclusions are for the reader to draw.

In a series of chapters, each focussed upon a different aspect of our bust political system, she explains why we still have poverty, what is happening to the NHS, the housing and education system - and much more. These are not just rants upon the unfairness of life, these are well researched articles explaining the way things work in our society: no opinion so, nothing to argue against. This is very powerful and a must read book.

The elite have managed to make reading a minority activity amongst the ordinary person in the street. The stress of 21st century life is such that, unfortunately, most are only up to Bridget Jones' Diary after a day of worrying about unemployment, or demeaning themselves to keep their job. If we could get this book in front of the masses, the establishment would be defeated tomorrow. ( )
