Re 1983 let's also remember the meeja (largely but not solely Murdoch) attacks on Michael Foot - like the 'donkey jacket' at the Cenotaph. Worked so well they rebooted and ramped up against Corbyn (as I don't need to remind you).

Plus the manufactured warmongering ‘patriotism’. Decent socialists being anti-war, of course, which is always presented as akin to treachery, if not appeasement.

The parallels with Jeremy Corbyn are telling - hence another reason why learning proper history is so important…
