A Background of Modern Britain confronts head-on the triumph of shopping over politics. It instructs the storyline of how the great politics visions of New Jerusalem or a second Elizabethan Age, rival idealisms, had become defeated with a culture of consumerism, star and self-gratification. In each ten years political market leaders think they know very well what they may be doing but find themselves confounded. Every time the United kingdom people turn out to be stroppier and harder to herd than expected. Throughout, Britain is a country on the border - to begin invasion, then of individual bankruptcy, then on the susceptible front line of the Cold War and later in the forefront of the fantastic checking of capital and migration now reshaping the planet. This history employs all the politics and economic testimonies but discounts too with comedy, cars, the battle against homosexuals, '60s anarchists, olive oil men and punks, Margaret Thatcher's wonderful good luck, political lies and the true heroes of British theatre.
