Bear in mind that the radio series was written during the soi-disant Winter of Discontent (a creation of murdoch myrmidons & Saatchi & Saatchi)of the kate 70s when union bashing was all the rage. | |

| May 23, 2016 at 9:28 | comment | added | LadySynthia | I've always been bemused at how few people have noticed, or commented upon, the many protoThatcher ideas expressed in the original radio series - the Union of Seers & Thinkers, the nasty council employee who wiped a couple of Arthur's windows and charged a fiver, the way the foreman was able to order a bulldozer to run over a citizen. As with the price of beer, the same with the packets of peanuts. | |
