The eco-elites are determined to stop us from travelling and earning.
It’s funny to think that The Archers started out in 1950, as a way of ‘educating’ farmers about what the UK government wanted from them in the new postwar Eden. One actor would often read announcements from the Ministry of Agriculture almost verbatim to another. Direct involvement of the government ended in 1972, apparently – but you’d never know it. Because after a couple of decades of being a perfectly good soap opera, like every other serial drama, whether on radio or TV, from the BBC or ITV, The Archers now feels like sitting in a doctor’s waiting room without a book, when you’re forced to plough through public-health pamphlets telling you how to think about everything, from breakfast to Brexit.
