'To ferment greviance and to set men at variance is the trade by which agitators thrive and journalists make money. A dog-fight, a brawl, or a war is always good news; if news of that kind is lacking, it pays well to contrive it. The average English mind is a fertile field in which to sow the dragon's teeth of moral indignation; and the fight that follows will be blind, brutal, and merciless.'
Dorothy L Sayers, 'The Other Six Deadly Sins' in Creed or Chaos? p.68.
