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.
