About this deal

If the vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar weren’t hard enough, this table sheds light on just how difficult it can be for a foreigner to understand what the British really mean when they’re speaking.

How Britain Really Works, by Stig Abell - Financial Times

If you’d like to retain your premium access and save 20%, you can opt to pay annually at the end of the trial.But many readers will feel he still doesn’t address the perceived cosiness of the relationship between press and regulator, or the woeful inability of the media to police itself.

Britain hadn't fought a war on the continent since the final defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, 99 years previously. As the Home Rule Bill made its way through parliament, rival militias began to arm themselves on either side of the issue.

He accused local councils of using traffic offences to boost their budgets with “over zealous” enforcement of parking and yellow-box junctions.

To say that How Britain Really Works fills in some of these gaps runs the risk of making it sound dull when it’s a wry, readable, even whimsical book. How Britain Really Works is a guide to Britain and its institutions (the economy, the military, schools, hospitals, the media, and more), which explains just how we got to wherever it is we are. So it ultimately defined the shape of Europe and the world in the 20th century and this is how it all began.He also points out that the unheralded Palestine conflict remains the most costly in British military lives since 1945 at 784.
