Troutfishing on the Tees – Me and Tony Blair
Cover Blurb
Troutfishing on the Tees (Me and Tony Blair)
Dateline June 8th 2000: ‘Blair bombs at WI’.
That day’s headlines marked a turning point for the New Labour project.
Meanwhile Northern chemist, enthusiastic cricketer and would-be libertine, Dr Steve Hemmings wakes up alone in ‘Tony’s’ Sedgefield, County Durham constituency, following a painful marriage break up.
Tough on Brexit, tough on the causes of Brexit! ‘Troutfishing’ comically charts Steve’s hapless decline from aspirational Mondeo Man to washed up Baby Boomer, his ‘career’ mirroring the decline of British industry at the hands of callous, southern-based politicians of all stripes.
