Jon Wycliffe grew up in the shadow of The Ford Motor Company Factory at Dagenham. The factory was the inspiration for the Film 'Made in Dagenham' about the hundreds of women working in the upholstery department striking for equal pay with skilled men.
He has previously written a memoir outlining his harrowing experiences there called "Disillusioned Apprentice". This new offering is a novel that reflects the atmosphere of the political position of the American style management of the factory vis a vie the UK government. At its inception in the 1920s the British Government was looking towards the United States for its economic salvation after the first world war. To this end it gave great financial incentives to Fords in return for enormous investment.
After WWII the UK was on its economic knees. The US was squeezing the UK for the repayment of its lease-lend debt bringing about rampant corruption. This in turn led to constant strife between management and unofficial unions. The official unions had been bought and sold by the management. Jon's experiences in life after Fords led to this latest novel "The Bent Politician".
