“Give Us Back The BAD ROADS” by John Waters. ‘John Waters says in this book, “I would love to be cool again”. But he knows he can’t be because in modern Ireland the price of that is to give up speaking the truth. Instead Waters has decided to give modern Ireland both barrels, & in particular its great champion, our media. If you want to read a blistering attack on our new pretentions, look no further than this book.’ David Quinn
