Where Did I Go Right?: How the Left Lost Me
About this item Description 'Voting Conservative is like buying a James Blunt album: loads of people have done it, but weirdly you never meet them....'Comedian Geoff Norcott should have been Labour through and through.
He grew up on a council estate, both of his parents were disabled, and his dad was a Union man.
So, how was it that he grew up to vote Tory?In this courageously honest and provocative memoir, Geoff unpicks his working-class upbringing and his political journey from left to right.
Raised by a fierce matriarch and a maverick father on a South London council estate where they filmed scenes for The Bill, Geoff spends his youth attempting to put out kitchen fires with aerosols and leaping in and out of industrial skips.
But as he reaches adolescence, his political views begin to be influenced by major events including the early '90s recession, the credit crunch, and a chance encounter with Conservative PM John Major.As an adult, Geoff begins to have the gnawing feeling that the values and traditions he grew up with no longer match Labour's.
And, as Brexit appears, he feels even more like a double agent operating behind enemy lines.
Written with warmth, wit and often laugh-out-loud humour, Where Did I Go Right? is Geoff's attempt to understand why he ended up voting 'for the bad guys', and why blue- collared conservatism could be here to stay.
