Did a Pound of Bananas Trigger Brexit?: The Story of the Metric Martyrs

The Metric Martyr campaign is supported by luminaries such as Judi Dench and John Cleese, as well as politicians such as Dominic Raab and Boris Johnson. The book tells the powerful, personal David versus Goliath story of the 'Metric Martyrs' journey from two ordinary market traders to political campaigners and public champions. A journey that captured the mood and feeling of the British public setting out clearly the relationship of the British people with not only Brussels but their own elected representatives in Westminster. The book tells for the first time how the campaign came at a high personal cost to the two main campaigners, one of whom died of a heart-attack and the other whose marriage was wrecked by the campaign's vicissitudes.
