Some LA bod knocks on someones door and makes vague threats, and we all know about it in 30 mins. Within hours lots of anger is generated and it becomes a campaign against a particular LA.<br /><br />Obsure legislation in countries such as Sweden likewise is more readily known about. I too don't think that any of this is particularly orchestrated except that in general all govts make more laws, not fewer and so as time goes on all sorts of things that have been tolerated get tightened up on and we know about it almost instantly.<br /><br />As I said before though, the increase of HE storylines in soaps is though probably linked to the increased pubilcity home educators have sought and gained in this country; story writers are influenced by this in that HE may have come to their notice more, and so worms its way in a dispropotionate way in to the storylines.Julienoreply@blogger.com
