Did anyone else watch the prog on BBC2 last week about Bananas?
It regaled us with the wonderful details of the 1945 - 52 Old Liebour government, as led by dear old Clement Atlee, a man with all the charisma of a gerbil.
How food rationing became more prescriptive after the war than during it, as the apparatchiks of the Ministry of Truth.. sorry, Ministry of Food, instead of giving advice, gave orders, which must be obeyed.
Of how they were attempting to ration bread which wasn't rationed during the war.
Etc. Etc.
No wonder Churchill got reelected.
