And another follow-up, just seen a plot description of a film on TV today
in which a person is descried as a "latter-day Mary Whitehouse".

For those that don't know, Mary Whitehouse was a teacher in the sixties
and later who campaigned against the permissive society, but she didn't
come to prominence until the mid-sixties, so latter-day is wrong.

(Incidentally, the BBC did a biopic of her a few years ago, after her
death.  In one scene, she decides to start an organisation called Clean
Up National Television.  Her husband takes her aside to point out the
unfortunate acronym.)
