All Out War: The Full Story of How Brexit Sank Britain's Political Class by Tim Shipman
3.0
Just gonna preface this - this is my view and opinions. I will not get into a political debate with anyone.
I don’t know how to sum up my feelings about this.
My rating is a 3 star.
I spent the entirety of the book not really understanding who everyone was and the roles they played (other than the top people in each camp) but that I link that more to my ignorance on how the government is structured as a whole (I have a very, very basic understanding) than to Shipman’s writing.
In terms of being informed about Brexit, it hasn’t changed my opinion. It has softened my anger towards the Leave campaign to some extent, in others I am just as angry, just as frustrated and just as disgusted as I was when this was all happening.
I still think the Remain campaign did a terrible job at campaigning. They should have done better.
They all lied. They all failed the British people.
In my opinion. Don’t come for me.
Ultimately this book did what it outlined in the introduction. It educated me on how the campaigns really went, how we really came to have the result we did and I have more of an understanding of both sides of the arguments and slightly less hostility to the people I oppose.
But I stand by my thoughts and opinions. I stand by my vote.
I’m interested to read his next book about Brexit… I think I’ll wait until all this bullshit is over first though.
