It’s one of the great cons of history that this man, who services billionaires, science-denying fossil fuel lobbyists and the very Tories who, he says, “broke Britain”, still gets away with presenting himself as the great outsider and disruptor.

By the way 'Nuts in May' was first broadcast on 13th January 1976 - fifty years ago today!
Watching Mike Leigh's matchless 'Nuts in May' again (a beautifully restored print on BBC iPlayer www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...). Roger Sloman and Alison Steadman were both 29 years old at the time, which means I'm now old enough to be Keith's dad. Or Candice Marie's.
Play for Today - Series 6: Nuts in May
Director Mike Leigh’s iconic tale of camping holidays and all the hazards involved. Keith and Candice Marie arrive at a Dorset campground for ten nights of idyllic bliss.

John Harris' 80s art for the ZX81 manual in 1981 and the ZX Spectrum Basic Programming book the following year. Bold Brutalism inspired shapes and exotic floating mountain cities. Used these contrasting blue and orange colour schemes myself recently too. Absolutely iconic.
