I missed both the programme and the article. I'll get to the programme eventually, but the article missed one TV series that was very much a dystopia - "When the kissing had to stop" based on the rather sensationalist book by Constantine Fitzgibbon, which effectively posited CND handing the country over to the Russians.

I haven't read the book in decades, but I remember the TV series very well. One element of it - the black clad armed police force marching through the streets was also parodied in a Two Ronnies sketch starring Diana Dors called 'The worm that turned'.
I don’t remember that bit.and moving closer to the USSR.
I don’t remember that bit.
To echo your line, I would argue that there is no such thing as 'no preconditions' when it comes to accepting money from the IMF.
I may be getting the novel and TV adaptation mixed up. But, I do remember that as an alternative to the IMF bailout, which comes with lots of conditions, Perkins' Foreign Secretary negotiates a loan from the 'International State Bank of Moscow', without any preconditions.
