Brace Yourself, Bridge It! looks at Irish and British relationships north and south, east and west, up and down and here and there.Mercilessly depicting the antics of both ingenues and disingenues as they try to get it together - the northern peace process, the Fianna Fail/Progressive Democrats coalition and the Irish presidential campaign - this new collection of Irish political cartoons features all the stars, from Trimble and Ahern to Hume and Adams, with cameo performances from Blair, Clinton, Haughey and McAleese.
