Pushy Charlie Bosham is not a sympathetic fellow. He is a liar, a cheat, a bully, a ruthless operator - a wally on the make. Nasty,Very is a genuine satire : not a lampoon, not a joke, not a jolly jab at the Establishment, but a hammerblow of a book, born of a sense of outrage. A savage parody of the Britain that is no longer Great.
