    Just a correction of the description, Leonard James Callaghan, Baron Callaghan of Cardiff was the one who ended the Post-War consensus or at least stated so publicly. Watch his 1976 Labour Party Conference Speech.

    --Michael Cockerell: I know he's retired and infirm, but I think bringing Jeremy Thorpe to deliver his famous zinger about Macmillan's character will be a good way to wrap things up. --Producer: Um...are you sure we want Jeremy Thorpe dunking on someone's character? --Cockerell: Well, his voice isn't what it used to be, but give me one reason why we shouldn't have Jeremy on. Although we'll end with Selwyn Lloyd's dog. People love stories about dogs. --Producer: (Speaking of reasons not to bring on Thorpe...)

    Two of the greatest mistakes Harold Wilson made was not introducing 'in place of strife' and devaluing the pound far earlier than he did. Other than that, he introduced much needed radical reforms.

    I hope our Democrat friends in Washington may see this and reflect on Mr Biden. I make the suggestion around these two mens ages. No other comparison; Biden is a political midget next to MacMillan. Trump will win, and that's preferable IMO but that's a low bar of competence; how apt.

    I am thinking that this is around the time that I lived at Cliftonville (Margate, Kent) ...I did various jobs for my landlord, thus did not pay 'top-up', - from fitting phone exchange stuff + video cameras also rolling out the newly restored (by me) fire alarm to helping one time on a flat clearance in the West End (we nearly accidentally threw the shadow home secretary into the garbage truck - loool).... ...around 4 years after this video I would arrive Hastings for the first time........
