In his courageous and vividly evocative memoir, Geoff Norcott delves into his working-class upbringing and his political transformation from left to right. Raised on a South London council estate where scenes for the popular TV series "The Bill" were filmed, Geoff experienced a childhood filled with unique adventures and challenges. Despite his upbringing, Geoff's political views began to evolve as he witnessed significant events such as the early 1990s recession, the credit crunch, and a chance encounter with Conservative Prime Minister John Major. As an adult, Geoff began to feel a growing disillusionment with the values and traditions he had grown up with, and as Brexit loomed on the horizon, he felt like a double agent operating behind enemy lines.

Written with warmth, wit, and often laugh-out-loud humor, "Where Did I Go Right?" offers a thought-provoking and insightful perspective on the political landscape. Geoff's memoir is a testament to his resilience and determination, and it will undoubtedly haunt Kier Starmer et al. as they grapple with the challenges of the modern political world.

Geoff Norcott's story is a reminder that politics is not just about ideology but also about the human experiences and perspectives that shape our views. His journey from left to right is a testament to the complexity of the political landscape and the importance of open-mindedness and empathy. As we navigate the uncertain waters of the future, Geoff's memoir serves as a valuable guide for those seeking to understand and engage with different political perspectives.
