Cultural Imperialism

Michael Balcon, the heart and soul of the post-war Ealing Studios, said 'the only Imperialism worth anything is Cultural Imperialism'. It's hard to disagree with this statement. Think how much cheaper it would be to subsidise the making of a few film comedies or to properly fund organisations like the British Council than it is to spend £££££££££'s on military adventures like the Suez Canal and the Falklands, or latterly in trotting obediently after the Americans.
