[QUOTE="Red Fred, post: 7818647, member: 189"] I was reading a fascinating book about wartime propaganda in Britain. It is called The Myth of the Blitz, and must be 30 years old and a bit left leaning, but it is very interesting to see how the might of the BBC and official bodies such as Mass Observation were used to sell a picture of Britain which we still believe today, or at least we did until fairly recently when the agenda was changed . The concept of the green and pleasant rural land worth fighting for, everyone pulling together and Spitfires over the White Cliffs of Dover are cornerstones of the legend even though by 1940 most people didn't really live in the world they portrayed and it was largely a myth. My conspiracy theory is that they have been down in the cellars and dusted off the old reports and techniques which were compiled with enormous care and effort, and the BBC has once more become a cornerstone of selling a new myth to the public even though the bleedin' obvious concerning farm animals is staring the public in the face every time they go out in the car for a drive. It could of course be that the effort was never really turned off and has been quietly directing our thoughts since the '40s. [/QUOTE]
