This is the fun and exciting adventure of an ordinary egg & chips eating kind of bloke, who finds himself becoming the most famous man in Britain. Jim Arkwright is having a weird week. After learning that a video of him talking politics in the pub had gone viral, he finds himself on the radio, wiping the floor with the experts and politicians live on the air. The British public, sick of the sleazy, money grabbing, out of touch political figureheads are instantly endeared by the straight-speaking Lancashire man. They love his ideas and his genuine, warm nature. He hears the things that ordinary folk say, on buses and in launderettes. Big Jim is clearly a man who is in touch with the public. The following morning's newspapers start a campaign demanding that Big Jim should become Prime Minister. But Jim has a big job on at work. He really has no time for any of this nonsense. Can Big Jim be tempted to join the Government? The people of the small rural town of Clitheroe hope so, as the place has become over run with media gangs, press trucks, television channels and happy go lucky tourists. This is the novel that readers can't put down. Britain really has found a new kind of Leader. A working class welder from up north. Youtube Promo: http: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DtfYrQXTEM
