Not a remainder

Nope, I don't think that ex-PM David Cameron's new book will be remaindered, although one might hope so. I suspect that many will buy and read it in the hope of some sort of explanation/justification for the SNAFU that Bullingdon Boy number 1 helped create, and Bullingdon Boy number 2 is trying to carry through. All I can think so far is that 752 pages is a hell of a lot of tree to waste for what ought to be a brief and contrite "I am so sorry".https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk/2019/09/man-who-broke-britain

Thanks, David. An interesting read.The stand out paragraph for me in that article:“He failed to run a positive campaign that extolled the benefits of EU membership, focusing instead on the economic costs of Brexit. And he failed to instruct the civil service to prepare contingency plans in case of defeat. Interviewed during the 2015 election campaign, Cameron five times declined to answer when the BBC’s Nick Robinson asked whether he had a Plan B if he could not secure a reform package and then lost the subsequent referendum.”
