ok this has now turned into a writing prompt. I am now trying to think of a story around the phrase drug against war, and so far all my ideas are very mid-20thC but I'm working on it.ok this has now turned into a writing prompt.

As a bit of a teaser, you'll hear about how an article I found in the newspaper of a British Black Power organisation led me down a rabbit hole into the history of the 'crisis' in British prisons in the latter half of the 20thC

I think I had that argument with them on twitter too. Thankfully I go to very few awards dos. The maths is suss in that article too - unless they are suggesting we should have the same occupation density as in the mid 20thC? (No. of people ā No. of households)
Make America Great Again is clearly referring to the long turn of the 20thC ā my area of expertise as a historian. Things that happened during this period: Jim Crow laws Eugenics Economic boom & bust cycles Immigration restrictions The rise & fall & rise again of the KKK Huge income inequality
I certainly agree it's class related.

Chesterton employed the same device in The Invisible Man; and Father Brown articulated it.
Good lord, this shallow-water electric railway actually existed in Brighton at the turn of the 20thC. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brighto...
So, I know the names Bernard Skinner and John Heath, but what was Robinson's forename, can't seem to find it...was he early 20thC?
