He still talks of the 3 day week and Miner's strikes as if Satan stalked the earth. This kind of rhetoric chimed with his middle class 'respectability, restraint and downright frugality' (as Colin Kidd has it). <br />In line with some of Phil's stuff I've been checking Jacques Ellul. His 'Propaganda' gives a good account of political organisations' using the pre-existing prejudices/opinions of the mass and intensifying them to move the mass in a particular direction. This chimes with your piece, I think.<br />Enjoying your stuff on the various decades blogs.Bobby's Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372809080319268113noreply@blogger.com
