Tell Sid: Popular Capitalism and the Thatcher Revolution
Manage episode 401268587 series 3374294
Along with the sale of council houses, privatisation was a signature theme of Mrs Thatcher's government. Its aim was not just more efficient businesses, but a "share owning democracy" that would purge Britain of the "corrosive effect of socialism". With its "Tell Sid" campaign, British Gas was the high water mark of privatisation. Neil and Jonathan talk to author Philip Augar about "stagging", Cedric the Pig and how privatisation changed the City.
Presented by Jonathan Ford and Neil Collins.
With Philip Augar.
