"To be read and enjoyed by all who love freedom and democracy and mistrust the aspirations of the state." Chris Woodhead, Sunday Telegraph"The book, therefore is both timely and important. . . Such important and swiftly executed change deserves proper detailed analysis. It gets just that in this wide-ranging and largely intelligent volume, and from such distinguished names as Gillian Peele, Simon Jenkins, Roy Jenkins, Tony Benn and Bernard Weatherill." Sarah Fitzpatrick, Times Literary Supplement"Despite it's melodramatic title, it is a spirited read and raises many interesting and important questions." John Dunn, Times Higher Education Supplement"A collection of thoughtful and thought-provoking essays by some of the best known politicians, journalists and academics in contemporary Britain. Few books in recent months have offered such a rich and varied fare; fewer still have been more timely." The Commonwealth Lawyer"This book is a call to wake up." George Wedd, Contemporary Review"The contributors do not all trot out their views in a strict party line, but appear to be honest in their assessments." Stewart Myhan, Freedom Today"This book is a forum in which all aspects of the debate are examined with essays from scholars, politicians and journalists from across the political spectrum." Jon Temple, Republic"... shows that the Blairite constitutional changes depend on the silent dismantling of the independent British state." Christopher Arkell, Salisbury Review"A wonderfully eclectic group of people contributing to the debate we never had...This book could scarcely be more timely or more needed." John Humphrys"Reform cannot be equated with rape without a considerable degree of teminological inexactitude." Vernon Bogdanor"I only wonder if you need that question mark in the title." Margaret Thatcher"Throughout his life, Max Beloff brought spirit, intellect and independence to the study of the British Constitution. This book is squarely in his tradition." Peter Hennessy"It is sad to watch the destruction of one’s own country but will be sadder still if no one has the guts to fight back." Frederick Forsyth"Incremental totalitarianism indeed! Such partisan exaggeration defames the memory of the dead." Bernard Crick
