The Case for a British Nader: The Evidence (1971x34)

Air date: Oct 20, 1971

Ralph Nader fights for consumers; champions the cause of individuals who feel frustrated in trying to win a fair deal. Attempts to stifle him have failed. His campaigns for consumer justice have brought about significant changes in America-made the individual feel that he is no longer abandoned. In Great Britain today there are many who say the time has come for a Nader. The Consumer Council has been closed. The individual feels his position weakened. In the first of two programmes we look at the evidence for the consumer's case; and next week, with the manufacturers, citizens and authorities, as well as Ralph Nader himself, we debate the future.
