“ If by accident you tune into Radio 4 and you’re normal, it just sounds like complete gobbledegook to you. The fact that a Radio 4 audience may not recognise that that’s a normal reaction to hearing Radio 4 to most people in Britain is I think a bit unfortunate because a Radio 4 audience is supposed to be imaginative and interested in this kind of thing. ”
Professor Danny Dorling, quoted in the transcript of a BBC Radio 4 (where else?) Analysis programme about “the powerful effects of ‘group think’, increased social segregation and our unhealthy tendency to compare ourselves with those who are better off (but not those worse off) than ourselves.”
