Harold Macmillan is hard to dislike

Wonderful interview and would love to see it in its entirety. NB: my wife's uncle was the announcer for Firing Line.

Firing Line was real class.

Wise old man, a real life Dumbledore, and one of the greatest britons

Like me, a Macmillan of Arran. I believe he’s my fourth cousin, though I’ll have to check with my grandfather.

A wonderful British man

Great breadth of vision and command of words and history - whatever his flaws, where do we get politicians like this anywhere in the world today, let alone in the current politically correct wasteland of the UK?

wow, thank you

He looks good for 78

I really want to see this full episode

Where is the full interview?

tubularbill The Hoover Institution, at Stanford University, maintains the archives of all the 30-some-odd years of _Firing Line_ (and it is one hell of a deep, rich resource), but they've not yet released the full program with Harold MacMillan; this clip is taken from one of the anniversary compilations that were periodically assembled and broadcast. I've just written off to them requesting that they release this one; you ought to do the same. I would give the email addresses of particular archivists with whom I've corresponded before, but I don't want to spray their names all over KZread; here's Hoover's staff directory for Library & Archives: www.hoover.org/library-archives/about/staff-directory Just pick someone who sounds appropriate to the query; I've found them to be very helpful and perfectly willing to pass things along to their colleagues. Maybe if enough people show an interest, Hoover will invest the time and effort to release more. There is a lot of gold hidden in the _Firing Line_ vaults, of that much I'm sure. How am I so sure? you may well ask. Well, here's a register of all the _Firing Line_ programs ever broadcast: pdf.oac.cdlib.org/pdf/hoover/firingli.pdf Hope this helps!

Very much so my friend, and a not-too-distant relative of mine, part of the same small branch of the Macmillan family that settled in Arran and, I believe, my fourth cousin. He was true based and redpilled, as well as being on the sigma Scotsman grindset.

He isn't based in any regard lol, he basically oversaw the destruction of the British empire as well as the abandonment of Britons living in Africa who then had their life's work swept away, he sided with Israel in their expansion and then bent the knee to the United States, and he was a follower of Benjamin Disraeli. He was in every way a total cuckold.

How you (generally speaking) gone tell another group of people if they can take care of themselves or not smh

Weird interviewer. Almost creepy!

How incite-full, one of the great statesmen of past, a great Scotsman, someone we can be proud of - which is so lacking in contemporary British Politics!

No, Scottish actually. He spoke with an English accent, but he considered himself a Scot by ancestry.
