Life imitates art - Foyle's War [View all]

[question everything]

We watched the most recent episode of the series on PBS. Actually, one before last.

It was set in Nov. 1946 right after the end of WWII and there was a populist leader who was talking about the Jews, the Poles, the Czechs, the Gypsies who take jobs. Who were the cause of rationing food supplies. Of Britain really losing the war.

And, yes, he wanted to make Britain Great Again - to the cheering crowd. The group was referenced as the "Right Club" which was formed before the war and campaigned against it

The program was filmed in Jan 2015, before Whiny Donny descended from his escalator at his edifice complex. But it was impossible to watch it without thinking of current events.
