This is an audio representation of a 3-hour video presentation I produced and published online in July 2023 titled 'The Bloomsbury Tour (London): Social Engineers & the '60s UK Counter-culture.'

Bloomsbury is a district of London where a small collective of, some would describe as, notorious individuals, were active during the early 20th century in the fields of art, literature, as well as economics and social theory. Their notoriety stems, partly, from their free-thinking lifestyle that’s deemed to have been a head-on challenge against the strict values and taboos of Victorian-era England into which they were born.

This collective is referred to as ‘The Bloomsbury Group,’ and included within its fold was the famous novelist, Virginia Woolf. To quote from one source (the charity, ‘English Heritage,’ which is responsible for taking care of ancient and historic buildings, monuments and sites including Stonehenge, Hadrian’s Wall, and the Cenotaph in London), there was a “refusal” on the part of “The Bloomsbury Group… to conform to the moral standards of society…” Also, they’ve been described as having lived a life of “sexual permissiveness.” These descriptions read like a word-for-word portrayal of what’s said to have gone down in the ‘swinging,’ free-loving 1960s, right?

I have wondered... just how closely aligned were (if at all) The Bloomsburys and their philosophies and lifestyle to the 1960s, and, more to the point, that decade’s alleged social-engineering project, the so-called ‘counter-culture’ of the UK, and of London in particular? In this audio representation which was recorded and first released in 2023, I talk about this with private investigator and radio-host, Ed Opperman for his show, 'The Opperman Report.'
