Thinking about Albie's last speech in the episode of Cracker 'To Be A Somebody' from 1994: 'You're looking at me and you're looking at the future...This country is gonna blow.' Jimmy McGovern understood that the Thatcherite consensus would lead to fascism without a radical alternative.

I understand the desire to memory hole COVID. But it happened. It is still happening. Yet we were forced to act as though the world emerged from lockdown unchanged. It didn't. And neither did we.
