In 2012 we learned of a sinister group of Lords moving to change the behaviour of the UK population. Of course the idea of government changing minds is nothing new but medicating behaviour change to get the outcome they want, outside of some form of psychiatric institution, most certainly is.
A step down from the House of Lords we found the main agenda of the Cameron/Clegg coalition was to change the behaviour of the British public to accept the serfdom of the new world under climate taxation.

Its all a bit messy but here is the government team happy to twist your mind in tune with the Tavistock Institute and its psychological warfare against the people :

What we do
The Behavioural Insights Team, often called the Nudge Unit,’ applies insights from academic research in behavioural economics and psychology to public policy and services. In addition to working with almost every government department, we work with local authorities, charities, NGOs, private sector partners and foreign government, developing proposals and testing them empirically across the full spectrum of government policy.
