52 Times Britain was a Bellend

Remarkable really that the author managed to whittle it down to just 52! Comedian, James Felton takes a timely look back at our proud British heritage and digs out some absolute howlers that you definitely weren't taught in school.

A painfully hilarious and embarrassing chronicle including, but certainly not limited to:

• Sending pirates to mess with the Spanish during peacetime
• Inventing a law so we didn’t have to return artefacts we’d shamelessly nicked from other countries
• Starting a war with China because they didn't buy enough of our Class A drugs
• Creating muzzles for women!

Every country has its own dark and twisted past but come on!

Whether you're intrigued and mildly ashamed or you know a staunchly patriotic Brit who needs to read a few home truths – get your hands on these horrible histories and take a long hard laugh at our 'Great' Britain.
