  1. In the 1970s people believed the propaganda about the Common Market - we had no idea, for example, that the founding aim and mission statement of M Monnet and M Schuman at the foundation of the European Coal and Steel Community was 'Ever closer union'.

  2. I believe Denis Healey was Beach Master at Anzio. Inflation in the 1970s was 27 per cent per annum. Tony Benn was lied to by Marshall about nuclear power. Barbara Castle was lied to by Dr Beeching about trains.

  3. To my memory - I was an adult at that time - people were VERY aware of The Troubles in Northern Ireland (and later Britain). Even Irish people i knew hated the IRA. It more than incenses me - it renders me incandescent - to hear current politicians costing up to leaders of Sinn Fein- IRA and casually talking about the 'inevitability' of the 'unification' of Ireland.
