Tom Reid , The Washington Post's London
Correspondent, gives a sardonic American view of British politics. In the first of two talks, he applies his witty and irreverent style to analysing British politics from an American perspective and, in the process, provokes the need to think again about party manifestos and free broadcasts. He considers the notion of right and left in both UK and American politics, and takes a swipe at some MPs' grammar. See Peter Barnard 's choice on page 124.
