Jeff Shift has been called a hypocrite and a vain prig, but he doesn’t mind. Partly because he doesn’t know what prig means. And anyway, he knows that his enemies are only jealous. When Jeff Shift accidentally wins £19 million pounds on the National Lottery in the very week in which he has led a protest against the lottery, he faces a dilemma. Vowing to give away his fortune, the self-styled ‘socialist philanthropist’ finds it harder than he ever imagined. Follow this most unreliable witness as he tries to find love, world peace and depressing Russian films.
