Just started reading Andy Beckett's account of the years 1980-82 in the UK, in some ways a sequel to his excellent account of the 1970s, 'When the Lights Went Out' (as previously discussed on here).
A couple of chapters in, and we begin to see the shift in thinking that a 'small number of determined people' are propagating. This of course chimes with the noise coming from 10 Downing Street, as Thatcher's revolution begins to take hold.
This is graphically illustrated by the arrival of the Austin Metro in 1980, with this infamous advert.
Something was stirring in Middle England...
