Oh dear - they've managed it again. BBC4's "Tory! Tory! Tory!" has inspired me again. And I find myself in awe of some strange political heros. Yes, that's Antony Fisher, Ralph Harris, and Arthur Seldon and John Hoskyns, Keith Joseph and yes...her, the great she-devil herself.

On the face of it, they could not be much further from my political viewpoint. So, was Churchill right about socialist at twenty and conservative at forty being the natural course for man? Have I gone a deep shade of blue? Not on yer nelly I haven't. But the movement that these few, it appears, created, from bunch of crank counter-cultural economists, professional and amateur, to dominance of the world political economic orthodoxy in such a short time was nothing short of revolutionary and truly inspiring.

It gives me hope that it can happen again. That just because people think at the moment land value tax and a debt free money supply are crack-pot ideas it doesn't mean that they will always be. That I have to allow myself twenty years or so to make such an impact.

But there were one or two other interesting things about the program. I noticed a section where they were talking about monetarism and shredding pound notes and so on and in the background they showed an advert being introduced by Gordon Jackson with some cheesy musical singers explaining the principles of monetarism to the Great British Public. "We'll count our blessings if we apply/tight control to our money supply"!
