Watching this evening's documentary on the Aberfan disaster, its already clear (half way through) that like later scandals (right up to recent years) a consistent theme is the absolute disdain the political class have for normal people.... from lies to condescension and inhumanity, the political class just see normal people as a nuisance.

What is also notable is that the media seem(ed) a lot more sceptical of the political class that they do now!
