"Shifty is a series of films that traverse the past 40 years in Britain, showing how the shift of political power to finance and hyper-individualism came together in powerful ways, to undermine one of the fundamental structures of mass democracy–the shared idea of what is real."

Decided to begin watching Adam Curtis’s #Shifty documentary series on #BBC iPlayer tonight. It was highlighted as one of the best documentaries of 2025.
It’s made up of archive footage from #Thatcher coming to power and the immediate time afterwards.
As someone born in the Winter of Discontent I wanted to understand the time when I was alive before I could remember.
I now know my childhood suspicion and dislike of Thatcher was rooted in her economic incompetence and hatred of working class.

@TheBreadmonkey Thatcher has been dead for a long time, but the spirit of her neoliberal delusion still reigns over an entire society. #Shifty

It's absolutely fascinating looking back on 50 years of craven political dysfunction and social upheaval in the UK.
I had forgotten about Northern Ireland and the violence, the bombings, the hatred. I had forgotten the devastating self inflicted unemployment that savaged generations, young and old. Living through that history you don't properly see all the pieces, you can't see the forest for the trees. This was before the internet. You didn't get a birds eye view of what's happening, not in the way we see the big picture in America right now.
And I'm watching this doco and thinking, far out this was so fkd up. Things were way worse than I realised at the time.
And in a very strange way, it gives me hope for the USA. That things can change. That a course can be corrected. At least to some extent anyway. I mean the whole Brexit debacle is a whole other chapter. There are multitudes of ways to steer a country into an iceberg.
But just the idea that it's possible to imagine a different future, that is so very very important right now.

This is a fascinating documentary style.
"Shifty" is a multi-part series recently commissioned by the BBC looking back at how Britain became not so great. The downward spiral that began with Thatcher.

"Curtis unpacks how decades of political, cultural, and technological transformations have eroded the sense of collective purpose that once bound people together, replacing it with an atomised world in which personal branding often outweighs public good. He also examines how social media platforms—with their endless, algorithm-driven feedback loops—have created a hyperreal space where narratives, identities, and even politics are"

Like any Adam Curtis documentary it takes its time getting to the denouement. I do think it's interesting to counter-pose the willful surrender of control to financial markets depicted with the unwillingness to take advantage of the current political climate to reestablish that control for the betterment of everyone. I don't think that just applies to the UK incidentally.
