Summary
About the author

A hilarious review of the rollercoaster ride that was 2021 from Twitter legend and bestselling author of 52 TIMES BRITAIN WAS A BELLEND, covering the good, the bad and the downright bonkers news and culture stories from the year.

Whether you're after some painfully funny company on your commute, or want to chuckle/become enraged on the way to visiting loved ones over the festive period, THE YEAR WAS 2021 reminds us all just how ridiculous the last 12 months have been - and prepares us for the onslaught of 2022...
