'History repeats... first as tragedy, then as farce'. Karl Marx said that, and what has he ever got wrong? The purpose of this podcast is to look back at the times when History has repeated (or rhymed) and try to learn some tentative lessons: try to draw up some common themes, trails, and threads that can inform our future action. Or, perhaps, just despair at the inevitability of endless human erring.

Episode 5- (Moral) Panic on the streets of London

A moral panic: widespread fear, most often irrational, that someone or something is a threat to the values, safety, and interests of a community or society at large.
This episode of 'Repeat Until Funny' tries to learn the lessons of the Garrotting panic of 1862, where Londoners wore exuberant spiked collars to protect themselves from a wildly exagerrated threat.
