This didn’t work for me. Described as "understanding the anger of Britain’s underclass", it really wasn’t about this at all. McGarvey obviously had a difficult childhood in the Gorbals with an alcoholic drug-addicted mother, who died when she was 36, and a fairly absent father, and a fairly troubled early life himself, fuelled by alcohol and drugs.
He has tried, it seems quite successfully, to turn his life around, and is intelligently critical of his own and other political stereotypes and assumptions, but I learned nothing about the anger of Britain’s underclass. So, disappointing.
