Rezensionen
If you're tired of trying to reason with people who have the power to decide the outcome before you begin, if you've ever wondered who gets to say what's reasonable in the first place (clue, the 'everyman' of the Clapham Omnibus looks and sounds a whole lot like the vast majority of every cabinet in British politics), if you know we can't go on this way but feel stifled and silenced by the insistence that it's just not reasonable to demand more or better - then this book is for you. Accessible, thoroughly researched, inclusive, and engaging, Sedgman's call to open our mouths, to step up, and to engage, unreasonably if necessary, may be just what we need in this moment.
