Doomwatch: Sex And Violence (3.12, BBC, untransmitted)

"People are continually saying to me: 'Arthur Ballantyne, you're a cultured, educated man. You love horses and dogs, you have an appreciation of the arts, you're a man of great sensitivity - and yet you espouse philosophies of racial hatred, sexual inhibition, violence upon the streets. We can't understand you, Arthur Ballantyne!' To which I reply: I did not invent racial hatred. I had nothing to do with the repression of generations of children. The anger in people is what makes them strike out, and that's there whether you or I like it or not."

"But you use it in a vain and comical attempt to get a dictator's power!"

"And why not, Doctor Quist? Why would you deprive me of the freedom to do that which is being done already every day - by politicians and journalists, and advertisers and businessmen? They make money out of it, they subjugate nations! They suppress minorities! And they do it under the mask of a so-called democratic society. It's their freedom to do it that we vote for! Well, someone else is getting into the act now. If... you have created a society in which a naked couple cavorting on a public stage is more shocking than a million on the dole; a hundred-thousand homeless; a half a million dead in Pakistan... don't blame me for taking advantage of it!"
