News of the Times Episode 124 | 1799-1801
Forgotten Fridays 1799 - 1801: News of the Times
1799 to 1801: the over-riding sense of the articles is the extreme poverty hitting the UK with inflation at a record 36.5%. With the record inflation and extreme poverty comes a corresponding rise in crime with the highest execution numbers since 1785. The masses are encouraged to fall in love with barley as a cheap source of energy and adverts are taken out for any kind of work wanted.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
