Nine! of our post-war British Prime Minister series It's all gone to shit It's gone to fucking shit This country's in the toilet We are podcasting live From the bottom of the toilet

This is a special episode Live from Paris Which is now Britain Unbelievably 40 years ago Britain had the biggest empire The world had ever seen And now we don't even have

A fucking working toilet The toilet The toilet You know when you're in a toilet And it's an automatic light And you're sat in the toilet at doing this, that's Britain in

1974. The humiliating the humiliation, just could someone up and you have to stand up with your trousers down and clap and the shitty ass fucking pants between your legs, waving at a like begging for some... We're in Harold Wilson's second term, which

is... As fun as it gets, pretty much. I think it's as funny as it gets. Harold Wilson at this point, I don't think there's a better before and after Prime Ministerial shots. It's up there with Blair. Charlie, can you get it before? Harold Wilson in 1964 and then Howard Wilson in 1976. We've gone from the rudest man

ever to sit in office to the tiniest man. I love you, baby. Heath, poor one out for Heath. God but not forgotten. I love Ed Heath. The nation's best...

No one ever hated women more. No one's ever been a better misogynist than Heath. He's taught through misogyny. Beyond misogyny. What is beyond misogyny? Where do you go? They become invisible. They are invisible.

Yeah. Heath does not see women. Howard Wilson is back for another stint. yeah 1974 is the crisis year Britain has two elections yeah no one really wins

either of them no how many times does Wilson go up against Heath I think it's four four times they face each other

when they say so Heath versus Wilson is the real grudge match that's fucking yeah it's two knackered heavyweights

slug in it out and also when they say Harold Wilson no he won four elections barely yeah

they're all like three four yeah in 66 he win 60 seat majority but apart from that they're all like they're just and from the the white heat vibrant

kind of social reformer big old bird it works for part nine part who's doing this what podcast is doing a 10 part series yeah I don't think anyone's going to see this and go like we need to do that you know what I got when I set this up someone who works

with us said do you think about part two does they never do as well as part ones yeah what about part nine who's still here who's still here I mean, this is the kitchen afters, isn't it? This is very much for question after. This is 5am, the birds are tweeting, and a guy who, you don't remember when he arrived,

you don't know who he's friends with, is now telling you who did 9-11. Well, no, it's not. It's telling you who. He's telling you all about Harold Wilson's second government. It's an afters in 1976, where someone is ranting conspiracy theories about Howard Wilson in his second term, which is, as we've said,

as funny as it gets. Yeah. So should we deal with the election or should we place where the country's at? Let's see where the country's at in 1974, as we've done through the series. Unemployment rate 3.6, house price over 10 grand. The blah, blah, blah. Christmas number one, lonely this Christmas by mud. It'll be lonely this Christmas.

It's bleak time. Ted Heath has come on the TV saying, just prepared for a rubbish Christmas. Christmas is going to be shit this year. Kung Fu fighting Oh and cold for Christmas Carl Douglas I believe did that

Man with a golden gun We're into Roger Moore Okay Finally more's about Gay Bond We've got a gay bond This is what happens When you let the Labour into office

That's like a text Your dad would send you This is what happens When Labor gets in The Bond goes gay Roger Moore's here Gay Bombed That's why I don't vote Labour

Sorry Mr Bumbed Thank you Charlie James Bum's more like The name's Bumd James bummed It doesn't really work It doesn't work at all I just went

In the spirit of trying to push through episode 9 I thought you know what I'm going to take whatever Charlie gives me I'm going to run with it Bund I'm going to commit Bumd It's chucking If Bunda would work better

Yeah Bund is just like a German surname No bummed Bummed James Bummed Yeah I guess that way I don't think it works The name's Bunder No

James Bummed Mr Bumd Mr Bumd Because he's gay It works perfectly Right Because he's gay Shaking

On my bum Shaking up my bird Just coming in Well we've already had jugs Yeah so what slang for titties We've had titties Again Britain has run out of ideas

It's nothing new It's country's got nothing Titties Fuck it Oye show us your tities The destruction of the future Yeah No one has any new words

There's nothing left You know We started this series With people calling boobs chandeliers And now they're just going Tits Tits Titts

Titties What? Dugs. Dugs. Dugs. Gizongas. But who's saying gizongas? No one in 1970s saying gizongas. But who's saying any... Headlights.

I like headlights. Look at the headlights on her. You know when you're driving and someone that's this in the mirror? It's because you're a lamp sign on. That's what they do. I want to know the kind of fella who's wearing gizengas. Gizongas.

Yeah. Who's saying gizungas. I reckon a few of our fans are saying gizengers. Check out the gizungas on this. Should we do the election? Hang on, what we need to get, and what slang for growlers in 1974? Because again, this is, we're in the 70s,

this is the era of the aggressive bush. Viginas have never been so angry as in the 1970s. Harry Minge is going to come and perfect. Clunge, this is the clunge election. Clunge has come in. Clunge is in 74. Clunge has amazing staying power. I still think the worst of everything we've had so far is puppies.

I think it's just disgusting. I have a theory that. The more childlike the euphemism, the more disgusting it is, actually. Yeah. So, like, you know, cunt isn't as bad as... Well, because cunt's no nonsense. Puppies is fucking rapy as hell. Yeah.

Yeah. Show us your puppies, love. O, you get your cunt out. It's unpretentious. Crisps were such a staple in 1974 that it survived the 1974 introduction of VAT. This is when VAT comes in. Really?

Christ. What were they doing before? How do they... Well, they had no money. searching for, why have we still got VAT? The lights are on now. So do other countries not do VAT? No.

No, not everyone does VAT. And what is it? Is it just taxing everything? It's adding taxed if you're earning over a certain amount. Right. I don't fucking know. I don't care. So the 1974 election and it feels like an election.

Sorry, we need to look at who Jane Seymour and Britt Eckland, what they look like. Come on. Fit women through the ages. Miss England 74. That's Kathy Anders. Now is that white Miss England or Black Miss England in the South African perspective.

This is how they play Miss World. Jane Seymour's an absolute smoke show. That's not that one. That one is ugly as sin. Get her off my screen. Jane Seymour, the Bond girl, is gorgeous and I think she's, I think she's got better with a Lorraine Kelly about that. She does have a Lorraine Kelly again. Can you tell how am I, I'm excited.

My cadence has increased. Young Jane Seymour, please. My heart rate's increased. I think she looks better with age, I think. Yeah, me too. Yeah. Better with AIDS? No.

You know what they say? She just looks better with AIDS. Give her a raise and she'll look a lot for her. No. Yeah. I think Jane Seymour is an absolute smoke show now and then. English Rose. 74 elections.

74 elections. It's an absolute crisis. It's the closest this country ever gets to a military coup. Yes. It's Latin America. It's Greece. It's the stuff you read about. It happens here, though.

It happens here. That it could happen here. Devastating to British. But with shit at sport. Because normally if you're a third world country, you can, it's through sport that you can, you've got strikers with long hair

that are doing stepovers. And we don't even fucking qualify for the World Cup. India's great at cricket. Yeah. Fucking Brazil's great at football. Yeah. But we're getting shit of everything. Snooker.

Snooker's about to get really big. But no one else is playing snooker. No. There's a Canadian, Cliff Thorburn. Yeah. Cliff Thorburn? But this is a hard club.

They're like sex symbols, the snooker players. It's hilarious. Could we actually, could we be talking about the fittest woman. We should get up the, the pin-ups, type in snooker player 70s.

The fact that this is what attracts women love this shit. This is this guy. This is a male sex symbol. They're all bad boys. Oh my God. I mean, Gods of Snooka is one of the great TV shows. I've highly recommended it.

And it's all to do with colour TV. I didn't know that. Oh, because you see the green table. They put snooker front and center of the big switch to color TV to promote, to advertise color TV. Because you can't watch snooker in black and white. Right.

Famously. Yeah. Snooker and black and white is rubbish. It's an anti-color blind game, Snooker. Yeah, yeah. So they promoted it with the turn to color TV in the late 60s. Right. And so that's why it got so big.

Yeah. And also, hooliganism and we were shit at football. So people wanted an excuse to watch something that was in football. Women are frothing. They're changed. They got fizzed pants. They're in tight suits. They're leaning across the table.

Yeah, because it is. Yeah. It's so phallic. It's so phallic. They've got a long, thin cock, and they're poking a ball. I mean, it is literally cock and balls. It is cock and balls. Cock and balls in the pocket. It's actually incredibly fucking crude.

I'm fucking hot. I'm getting hot talking about snooker. Yeah, it's getting a long stick and potting a ball in a hole. And also, there's a cut chair. Because the whole point of snooker is that if you want someone else. If you're the opposition, your guy just does 147 break or whatever. You don't get up. You don't get up.

You just sat there and you have to watch him. fuck the table. Yeah, you're Harold McMillan. You are Harold McMillan. And that's my table. And he's like, yeah, I'm fucking you up table. One of someone's favorite food is a, quote, massive dirty curry.

Hang on. Sorry. You can have a massive dirty fry up. I really didn't see curry coming. Dirty curry. Dirty curry. You don't want to eat a dirty curry. That's going to give you the runs.

Yeah, but what's a clean curry? Yeah, no one's eating clean curries. It's by very definition dirty. He says, quote, there's nothing like it after a snooker mash. A dirty curry. Well, Ronnie fucking hate it. snooker. Yeah, he does.

Yeah, he does hate snookerous. He thinks his big regret, the greatest snooker player ever, his biggest regret in life is getting into snooker. Yeah. He says, what a waste of time. He was like, I wish I'd put myself, I wish I'd put my efforts into any other sport.

Yeah. Because I'm inside all day, I'm the best of it, and what's he got me? No, no way. It's a rubbish. It's rubbish. You know, if you look at the younger players coming through, they're not that good really.

Snooker's fucking great There's lawless Fellow historians This podcast is sponsored by Surfshark Now listen If you using public Wi-Fi Did you know you're at risk I don't know

Heath calls an election to cement his place as Prime Minister and to try and win a mandate from the electorate. Who governs Britain? We talked about this. And they said, not you, brother. Not you, fuck face, you pido.

Yeah. Not you, you fucking nonce. As we said, Enoch Powell, leaves the conservatives. In a half. And now, the year, electorate deliver a hung parliament Heath tries to form the alliance with the Liberal Party under

the dandish Jeremy Thorpe. Now we're doing a patron-specific series on the Thorpe So this is one of the best of the Liberals ever do post-war. Six million votes goes to the dandyish Jeremy Thorpe. The openly gay. God, there's a lot of fucking noncing around in there. It's Britain in the 70s. It's culturally we haven't really moved on. The lights are out. You can do whatever you want.

Thank you. It's a three-day week. What are you doing with the other four? Fucking kids. It's where Britain's paedophile industrial complex begins. Our great export. Our great export. So, Thorpe wanted electoral reform. Conservatives were unwilling to concede. Also, he was in the midst of a very sticky affair where ultimately, long story short, a dog dies.

Yeah. He hides a hitman. He hides a hitman to shoot a dog. Anyway, we'll get that's on the Patreon. We'll deal with a Thorpe fair there. But anyway, Labour former minority government. Heath is removed from number 10. Love you, Teddy.

Good night. Gone but not forgot. wherever you are. I know you're looking up at us. Labour win a 301 seats. So they're governing, you know, it's a supply and demand. We've got nothing.

Wilson does not expect to be back in. At this point, he's got back in. He's knackered. He's fucking knackered. So the reason that 974 is so funny is because Wilson. The psyched drama that's going on behind number 10th.

It's a telenovela. Yeah. But it's Britain. Yeah. And it's not dramatic. Yeah. Right. So it's not glamorous.

No. It's very funny. It's a kitchen sink drama. Yeah, it is, literally. It's an Alan Bennett telenovela. That's what the Wilson's second term is. It's a telenovela written by a boring Yorkshire man. Yeah, yeah.

So, Wilson governs with an intimate, small political circle who get termed the kitchen cabinet. Yeah. Joe Haynes, his press secretary, Bernard Donahue, his policy unit chief, and Marcia Williams. Most importantly, Marcia Williams. Political secretary. Now, she's fascinating. She is incredible. She's one of the great women.

She's one of the great women. I, um, you know, I want to pay her, her Jews. Yeah, we got her. And we very rarely pay women Jews on this podcast. No. We very rarely pay Jews women. No, it goes both ways. Jews and women do not do well in this podcast.

This is a WASP podcast for men, a wasp men podcast. Marcia Williams is an absolute boss level bitch. Yeah. And I say that with love. Yeah, well-behaved women don't make history. You're goddamn right. Marcia, Marcia Williams. She's fucking naughty as hell.

might be the greatest prime minister we never had. Yeah. Marcia Williams is Wilson's private secretary and also basically his second wife. All these women saying I'm a girl boss sleigh because they've got a big water bottle and they're a manager at a marketing company. Yeah. This is how you become a girl boss sleigh. Wilson had had.

So he's married to Mary Wilson since the 30s, his childhood suite are. But Mary Wilson has no interest in politics. Yeah. She genuinely just doesn't give a shit about it. She thought he was going to live a quiet life as an academic. Yeah. It's a fusty academic. nerd but he's been now as he's got a second term she's even more angry so you can imagine there's

a sort of level of sexual neglect going on right no interest in politics no interest in harold wilson's penis all right in harold harold's wilson is uh it's uh it's not going any yeah um marcia williams had an affair with harold wilson back in the 50s right right and so but in true marcia william style yeah she tells harold wilson's wife i went to bed with your husband six times in 1956 and it wasn't satisfactory I love her absolutely love her this most powerful man in the country

just getting absolutely fucking humiliated by his let's let's face it dominatrix I mean there is a real subdom relationship going on and it bear in mind the political context that Wilson's second term starts with

the three day week you know if they're in a doom spiral it's like me and the mince pies inflation just the mince pies aren't touching the size at this point one of the first main issues of government that they have to deal with

is who gets to eat lunch in Downing Street. Right. Lunch becomes the main... Very political. Very political. Yeah. They've got a lot of stuff

that we become French for a second. Yeah. Yeah. Genuinely, we are. Because Wilson does not want to deal with the problems that the country has because they're intractable.

Like, he just can't, he can't feel like he can break the postal consensus. So, Marcy's presence during Wilson's meals caused so much disruption that AIDS negotiated a solution. Harold Wilson the Prime Minister

was forced to eat lunch alone Marcia would become enraged if she discovered he had dined with other AIDS So she's completely managing his whole Political life she's managing who gets to meet him She gets absolutely livid if he ever goes Against what she says And he has to follow him everywhere

So there's a luncheon he's having with his aids And Marcia erupts when white bait is served Now because one thing we should say about Howard Wilson He's a fucking stone cold patriot he hates anything that's not white carbs like you know he's not having a dirty curry yeah he believes in platratism he's a platiotism he loves like Charlie what can you just get what's the most British meal imaginable

something like a prawn cocktail to start roast beef Yorkshire pudding overboiled cabbage carrots peas lashing brown sauce just in case spot a dick for dessert type in strong builder's tea more British more British starter a single slice of cold pork pie straight from the fridge pick a lily a side of limp iceberg lettuce.

Full Sunday roast and full English breakfast mashed into one plate. Roast beef, Yorkshire Puds, fried egg, baked beans. For dessert, a jam roly-poly pudding, drenched in custard. White bread and butter on the side.

Yeah, come on. That's it. That's absolutely it. Type in more British. See what happens. Type in more British. Bread and butter pudding. I fucking love bread and butter.

I'm not a fan. Really? I don't like it. You fucking traitor. Yeah. For me, it's too British for me. My platutism stops at bread and butter. Start a jelly deals.

Jelly deals. Pickled egg from the jar. in a pub that's been there since the 70s. Gray boiled beef. Boiled potatoes. Brussels sprouts boiled for 45 minutes. Bread sliced with margarine, all drowning gravy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is Wilson's fair. He loves it. Marcia Williams kicks off at the white bait that's been served because she declares that she hates them for looking at her from the place. And then Wilson says that they only came from a home for the blind. He's funny guy.

He's got some wit to him. Marcia storms out in fury. because Wilson then starts speaking to someone else. No, just purely because she's not being talked to by him. And so it's in a very different Downing Street to what had been there two weeks earlier. It's Downsing Street. Downsendron Street.

It's Downsendron Street. 1974 is 10 Downsendrum Street. Genuinely. Because their only policy is about lunch. Yeah. Which is what Downsend Street would be. And every day it'd be like, is it ice cream yet? You know, the COVID briefings

in Down syndrome street It's free ice cream day But two weeks earlier Sprinkles Ted Heath was in power Who's the Minister for Sprinkles? Minister for horses Minister for sprinkles

Minister for Cuddles Minister for for For bobbling into a pool Yeah Minister for cowboy hats This is 10th Downing Street Sorry you were saying Ted Heath

Ted Heath It's a very different downing street and it's funny that it's happened within the same year and you've had literally the same year you've had 10 Heath's

downing street where women are invisible yeah don't exist you cannot see he's walking through them to Harold Wilson's where women are dominatrix

his press secretary is riding around with a collar and a leash yeah I just want to just to pause this right

let's just look through the prime ministers that we've had since Churchill yeah you've got Eden who fucks it

McMillan who's a 30 year test cricket level cuck right the great Douglas Hugh right then you've got Ted Heath who is possibly a paedophile and then you've got Wilson's second term

where he is being dominates by his own cabinet the sexual proclivities of this country's prime ministers post war really do run in parallel to our economic decline so there's another great

story where after the unexpected election win this is my favourite. AIDS planet So is this the first election of 1974 that this happened? I don't know. So amidst all the talk of lunch and Wilson being domed the country is falling apart

to be fair to be fair is completely falling apart Wilson with the unions I think what he does is he goes right I'm not going to give you more money or give you a bit more money but I'm mainly going to just give you all these health and safety benefits I think he does introduce health and safety in the workplace in 75.

It's more yet more woke nonsense to go with decriminalising abortion. He's going back to the original playbook, which is if back to the corner, woke nonsense. Yeah. Just liberalise everything. Yeah. So in the midst of all this chaos, he introduces a 98% top rate of tax. 98% on anything. That's crazy.

It's already 95% wasn't it? And he goes more. 98 on unearned income, right? So this means that Roger Moore. fucks off. By the end of the decade, James Bond is being made in France. Right.

Because he can't afford. Because it's fucked. Yeah. Jagger goes to France. Bowie calls for a right wing dictator. Bowie goes fascist. Bowie goes fascist. Boi has a fascist.

Because of how high the taxes are, you turned Bowie fascist. That's how high taxes are. Bowie goes Hitler. Does it Kanye? Yeah, he does. Yeah, exactly. And would, oh, Hitler.

Bowie, the most, like, you know, the role model to anyone who's gender is a bit on the fence or like a non-binary person, becomes Hitler. That's how high. I mean, 98%. There's nowhere to go from there. No, you can't. You're basically saying anything you earn, you could pay to the government. I mean.

Give me that. Yeah. Give me that right now. Yeah. Also. McCartney stays. Yeah. He's a patriot.

McCartney stays. He's staying to be taken thin. Yeah. But also, it's 98% but nothing works. Right. So it's not as if you're getting amazing services. It's Cuba, essentially. it is so um there's part of the reason as well is his negotiations with we're talking about his

negotiations with the miners yeah yeah i believe that he basically gives them what they want yeah to the point where one of the head uh union bosses is like well my job is to get the best deal for my um constituents but your job is to run the country because it's like he's like well just give you what you want it's like no your job is to say no your job is to say no to me yeah because i'm doing i'm only acting out of the interest of my fucking constituents. You're doing the whole country. Yeah.

So it just gives everyone everything. So there is mumblings in the gentlemen's clubs of London in 74 of whether they should take over in a hardline military coup. So it's all collapsing, but there's still the old school gentlemen's boys' clubs, these kind of like after dinner. McMillan throwbacks, people who've seen action in the 50s in the empire. So there's a guy called General... Mount Batty crease.

Mountbatty crease, he's around. There's General Sir Walter Walker. who is in his 60s, he's from a military family. He led troops in Malaya and Borneo, smashing the Reds, right? But there's always, whenever there's like, whenever left-wing policies are sort of failing or it's crown to the whole,

there's all, a military guy will always poke his head up and say, well, should we just fucking kick him out? Do you want to go nuclear? So he, Walter Walker does not have, um, uh,

he doesn't have modern sensibilities around gay rights, let's say. What does that mean? He's, he's on record as saying, that gay men treat the human sewer like a playground. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Which, to be fair, he'd hate Charlie.

Yeah, I think that about Charlie. I mean, I regularly say that, be private to you about Charlie. They use the human sewers. I can't believe we've got someone producing this who uses the human sewer as a playground. He's literally on the swings in the human sewer. Wee! Going down the slide.

He treats the, he treats a man's asshole like a flume. Yeah, it's a slip of slide. But, you know, when you go to a water park and it goes outside into the car park for a little bit. That's you in a man's asshole. Going out of the ass, round through the legs, back into the ass. So Walker then starts giving TV interviews.

This guy's not a sloucher, is he? No, he's not. He's got a straight back. He does a documentary called A Day in the Life of a General, which has never aired for security reasons, but he believes it's banned because he was revealing the true state of affairs, which the politicians are hiding from the public.

There's also, in July, he writes a letter to the telegraph calling for a, quote, dynamic, invigorating, uplifting leadership above party policy to save the country from the communist Trojan horse

in the midst. He ominously declared, I hope people will choose rule by the gun in preference to anarchy. He claimed to have at least 100,000 members. There's also David Sterling

who founds the SAS who's in Roak Broke Heroes, which absolutely slaps, what a brilliant series that is. He kicks, he's like, I'll go for it as well. I'll go for it, yeah. But then he,

I think he gets cold feet and ducks out quite quickly. but there is just talk about having a right-wing coup and then I think it is in July 74 Heathrow gets taken over by the military it's called Operation Menin or something anyway

Howard Wilson doesn't know about this and he thinks it's the start of a takeover and bear in mind this is 1974 so there's bombs going off everywhere IRA are bombing Operation Marmian bombs are going off everywhere There's a drawing base songs going outside your window Yeah it's constant

It's like living next to Victoria Park during Field Day Except the Republicans are having a field day It's actually to test security procedures In the face of a potential terrorist attack Wilson doesn't know this They're a pretend coup Yeah Wilson doesn't know this He is about it and basically thinks they're coming for him

Because something we should talk about He has lunch He has some white bait He has a fried egg and some grey beef to calm down I'll just set master on him Yeah he we should talk about his paranoia because to be fair justified paranoia

to be fair he has been being like tapped by MRI 5 since the 40s He's exhausted drinking way more than he used to Oh let's get his daily drinking routine He's getting absolutely cunted regularly Could be the drunkest Prime Minister since Churchill Yeah yeah definitely

But are these guys getting hangovers Are they having a hangovers? Well this is what I don't understand about the 70s I know it's all fucked But the liquid lunch they're still turning up for work Yeah If I'm getting I just I I would not be...

I don't know how you can maintain a day. That's because you're a lily-livered Gen Z. I guess so. I guess they're just built different. Yeah. But also, they're waking up and they're having like... They're getting a glass of whiskey

and cracking egg yolks into it and they're just down in that. Is this Wilson? So he'd have, yeah, he'd have brandies before PMQs. You'd meet journalists. You go for a bottle of wine. Yeah, if they cut off a bottle of wine, yeah.

They have a couple of sniffters. Then they go back to Down Street and have brandy and then carry on the day. I mean, how does anything get done from like 2pm onwards? Crazy. It's madness. It must be built different. Well, the productivity, you're three days, you have electricity.

Yeah. And then even on those three days, from 2pm, you're drunk. But is it possible that obviously now the association is like, you have a pint, I'm not going to work again. Yeah. But maybe back then it's like, I'll have a pint. Let's do a load of like typing. Well, it's just having your morning coffee. Yeah.

It's almost like you could just, the energy just goes in the direction of work. This is when pints were coffee. Yeah. So are you saying that maybe because kind of in a Pavlovian sense, when I have a pint, it's after a long day of work? Whereas they're like, even the smell of beer. It's like, fuck, I better do my eat now. They smell a beer and they need a shit.

Yeah, yeah. So waking up, yeah, right, I've had my morning beer. Get the pints in, get the pints in. I've got to get a long night. I've got a long drive. Get the beers in. I've got to get to work. This is also when the brilliant book, Tinker Taylor,

Spire, is written by John Lecar. John Lecar, which, now that does kind of paint a portrait. That kind of book and story and world only really surfaces to show. And I'd highly recommend the TV version of it. It's a four-part series on Tinker's Sailor's Soul Despi, filmed in the 1980s, because it captures 90s 70s London. This is with Alec Guinness. It's amazing because because it's filmed in basically the same London it was written about. Yes.

They don't need, unlike the film, which is kind of doing an imagination of the 70s, It's kind of making it kind of like, imagine the 70s was cool and stuff. Instead, it's filming 70s London. Yeah. With adding nothing because they're just filming outside their window. The security service have opened a file on Wilson in 1945. There's constant talk about him being a KGB spy. And so he's increasingly getting paranoid.

Any time anyone's talking about him, he's like, are you saying I'm a spy? But it's fair enough. Yeah, because they do. MI5 are putting stories of the press to try and like ruin his election campaigns to try and get him not elected. again because they don't trust him. So Hugh Gateskill, who was leader before Wilson, he died from an incredibly rare illness after visiting the Soviet Union in 63.

Yeah. Right? So that, I mean, that does feel like could be Novichot. Yeah. Allegations that the Soviet leadership wanted Wilson... Is that how Gateskill died? Yeah. Allegations Soviet leadership wanted Wilson to lead the country and that he assisted, the original Russian election interference could be in the 60s to get Wilson in. He regularly visits the USSR.

And this is... It's the 74, so the Cambridge 5 have now pretty much all come out. Yeah. They've all come out. Come out, sorry, in what sense? Well, two of them were gay, I'm pretty sure. Right. But then five were communist spies. Yeah.

But there's no communist spies who aren't gay. That's true. It's the same thing. This is when spies were gay, when beers were coffee. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So Wilson becomes increasingly paranoid in the 70s. There are regular burglaries in his staff's offices, including the theft of underwear and a grandfather clock.

Wilson alleged that the grandfather clock was in the South African embassy, fearing his criticism of apartheid as a motivational factor. He basically believes... So he was just burglaring. yeah I guess yeah because it's lawless the lights aren't on yeah so everyone's like well no one's home I'll just go in a knick and stuff

basically he thinks he's not in control of the country he thinks MI5 are running the country so the right wing coups don't materialise the the union stuff it's still not really it's like a you know deadlock whatever but he has no

there's no strong majority so he can't really do anything either His hands are completely tied because he's got literally a slither of a majority. Because the post-war consensus is breaking

at this point because no one is willing to smash up the unions and so the country's being basically held to ransom by them. Which is, this explains...

You can't have Thatcher without so many four. You can't explain Thatcher without explaining the year that Britain goes flush down the toilet. Yeah. So in October

Wilson calls his second general election. Because he needs a stronger majority if he wants to get anything done. And bear in mind he had a minority government. Yeah. He then wins

319 seats which means it has a governing majority of three so he still needs to rely on smaller parties to govern and this is when the Conservatives replaced Heath so Heath stays and goes up against him again yeah it's the grudge match

it's again it's fucking Zaire 974. It's actually is the same year as the Rumble in the Jungle I think man slugfest so this is when This is the Rumble in the Jungle Heath first the tired the two tiredest men in the world The fat man

It's the guy with dementia. War veterans who are now alcoholics and a fat slugging each other out and this is when mummy starts her ascendancy. One has not enough time for women. One has too much time for women. Yes.

It's like it's literally the way to treat women is between Wilson and Heath. You either ignore them or you get you put on a leash and driven by them. It's like you. Split the difference guys.

Just one of you. One of you just talked to them normally. You look them in the eye. as an equal don't be their fucking coffee table or entirely ignore them I'm more heath on that spectrum

than I'm awesome I think that's the way to play it yeah so Labor win a very very small majority in the October election but he thinks he's going to

lose this one as well yeah yeah and he's hoping he does yeah because he completely prepared for a loss and he knows if he loses that's the end of his career so he's ready he's got like

prepared plans for what happens when he loses. He's got this whole thing that he's going to tell people he's going somewhere, he's going to get a secret flight, fly somewhere, then get a train,

then get a car to his like country manner and be on his own. Is that because he's paranoid about the spies? Yeah. And also because he just wants to be left alone

because his career is over. Yeah. And he's 58 at this point and he's also... Which in the 70s is 98. That is 98. Yeah. So 58, but he's also got

dementia. Yeah. And maybe he's drinking through it. Yeah. So he's starting to mumble his words. Yeah. He had been a brilliantly articulate at speech.

yeah um he's now his face is fucked it's puffy yeah he's not really smoke the he's not even smoking the pipe anymore it's just a prop yeah um he told his wife that he would only lead for two years because she's just like can you stop this but it's so funny being like the wife of the prime minister yeah oh stop all that bollocks you start fuck off with your little hobbies yeah can you fucking do some proper work you come home and look after the kids or something it's like he's the prime minister it's crazy so he said he'd only serve for two years but he keeps his facts solely within the kitchen cabinet. Now, we need to get to the,

as soon as he wins the October election, he organizes a victory party. Yeah. But then, because it was done without Marcia's go ahead, she's furious, so she cancels it and doesn't tell Wilson about it.

Yeah. So Wilson's just won his fourth election. He's the most powerful man in the country, technically and he's been stood up basically at his own victory party is there not the the image of the 1974 is hill wilson turning up to his own victory party bunting bunting he's just won the fucking election no one's there apart from marcia yeah who then bollocks him for 40 minutes yeah i mean it's he's just won the fucking election and he's got his press secretary cancelled his basely his party and gives him a bollicking.

Do you reckon he makes her, she makes him like get on all fours and like... Yeah, I imagine so. There must be some sort of psychosexual thing. There has to be something like, I reckon he's getting pegged by Marcia. Yeah, so there's stories of in Downing Street, Marcia will walk, stomp around

and be like, Wilson! Yeah. Come here right now. Like a dog. Like generally like a dog. The prime minister will slink out of his room and go and listen to her. It's absolutely absurd. But again, this is 74.

She's got an absolute weapons grade. hairy grower. Yeah. The only person who could deal with Marcia, like a woman like that, you need Heath back in. Heath, Heath. Heath would not see. Well, Heath versus Marcy is like a Royal Rumble. That's like, who wins? No one knows. You've got a genuine attack dog against someone who doesn't see dog. My favorite story is that... Yeah, there's no, there's no angry growler than Marses. Marcy's got the angriest growler. There's never been. So my favorite bit is that there's a reception in the House of Lords, right? And Marcia insists that Wilson goes with her,

even though he's got, he's famously, he's famously got a lot on, right? So he goes with it for like a few minutes, he meets some people, has a drink, and then he slips away

with a speechwriter to go and work, do some fucking work. He's a prime minister. Marcia then notices his absence, goes back to number 10, and in full view of all the staff, shouts at the prime minister

of the United Kingdom, you little cunt, what do you think you're doing? You come back with me at once. And he goes with it. It's fucking crazy. And then male AIDS, which is obviously that's the only known for the AIDS. Yeah.

That is AIDS. It's not the 80s. It's not the 80s. It means something different now. Male AIDS described her as difficult, paranoid and overtly controlling. Yeah. Just call the Prime Minister a little cunt. In front of the start.

I mean, you know, can you imagine any other Prime Minister we can imagine that doing to? Yeah. You're a little cunt. So what the AIDS do... I could call Stahmer a little cunt, I reckon. Oh yeah, you reckon Come here, you little cunt I think

No, no, but she doesn't say like that You little cunt Yeah, I think you could do that to Cia It's like a head teacher You little cunt Yeah

So by the way Wilson What noise his care making When he comes By the way Oh Ah Oh

My Davies kiss Oh Oh, sorry Sorry What the age do Right is that It gets so bad

Yeah That Joe Haynes, who I think is his speechwriter, Wilson's doctor, comes up to Joe Haynes and basically says he could make Marcia die of natural causes, even offering to sign the death certificate. So when the coup plot is later broached, Stone, the doctor again floats poisoning her as a solution. So they're talking about fucking killing Marcia. For months, they're talking about like a cabot. a kitchen cabinet plot to kill the prime minister's personal secretary um and

although they considered it he later wrote she didn't deserve that end I mean it's it's it's amazing you can't just say uh sorry I don't I think you're that's a bit above your station to be speaking to the prime minister like that yeah but it's opposed to telling her this is the most British thing it's like I'm not going to cause a scene

because this woman's so embarrassing yeah how about we try and poison her yeah or fire her as opposed to just just shout at her yeah Or just sack her But he can't Because she's his dom I mean Charlie

Do you do sub-dom Things because I feel like I'm quite a world away from this I want to understand more I'm sub I'm sub I know you I like mommy to

I want to be on my knees With Mommy Right But I want her to love me as well Through it I want her to see through me Push me around But you also love me

Presumly you know some sub-doms Mainly subs I only really hang out with subs Right So Charlie is Britain When Thatcher arrives Yeah On his knees

begging for my But she has to love me as well. I don't want a horrible... It's tough love, though. It's tough love. Yeah, but as long as they're actually love, I don't want it just to be tough. Well, she's doing it because she loves you.

Because it's what the country needs. Well, then good. Drink your milk. Yeah. Maybe Thatcher's too tough love. I want to be milk like a cow. I want to her to be behind. The milk snatcher.

The best thing is if you're on your knees and you look behind you and you can just see your balls. Gone? Just drooping down and then behind them they're just flanked by two puppies. And that's like two big boobs. And then you just got balls and boobs. And you know you're safe.

Do you know you're safe? Yeah. But why is the, seeing your bulls in the context of a, a pair of hunkers, a pair of gazungas? Yeah, please,

to give them their proper name, please. Please don't call them puppies again. They're gozoikas. Why does that make you feel safe to see the, the bulls? Is it the bulls being dwarfed

by the gazookas? Yeah, I guess it's just, they're kind of, dot bollocks. Yeah, seeing them in, bollocks and dot bollocks. I don't know if there's an intimacy

about that and like, well, you're being looked after. You're a little of her. her moon. You're her little moon. Her moon. And she's the sun. Yeah. So you're like orbiting her tits with your balls. See, this is all sub-language. I don't really

speak this. Crazy. Yeah. Well, it's always good to check in on Charlie in the middle of a topic. It's no interesting. Well, I'm trying to get a flavour of the sub-dom relationship with Charlie has an experience of sex clubs. So anyway, so back in the actual

politics of the time, Wilson, obviously, Northern Ireland's completely kicking off. So here's a plan called Doomsday, where he's basically going to... Which is pretty radical for him, but he's getting senile. Yeah, and also they're like fucked off in Northern Ireland at this point. The plan is a secret plan, and it would have been a radical side, a radical move that would rarely seen from Wilson.

It would have meant removing Northern Ireland from British control and entirely removing it from the Commonwealth severing all constitutional links, which would have, I mean, it... Northern Ireland continued to get worse for most of the 70s. That would have made things considerably worse. It would be like leaving India and Pakistan, right? It's just like, it's fucking off. So it probably would have been fine. Yeah, absolutely fine.

Would you want to be fine. But it's just fucking off. Not my problem. See you later. Bye. Bye. Yeah. Glenn Barr.

It's Biden pulling out of Afghanistan. Get the dogs. Get the dogs. Get the dogs. Get out of Belfast. A leading lawyer that said that quotes, it would have been civil war, no doubt, if the doomsday plan was executed. Elsewhere in the troubles, Wilson offers our old friend, or Gaddafi, $14 million to stop arming the IRA.

Gaddafi obviously reject his offer. I mean, that's just humiliating. But this is Gaddafi in his prime. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We've got no money and you're saying, please stop arming the fucking joke. Please, I'll give you some cash. And Gaddafi's like, I don't think your lights are on, mate.

I don't think you lights are on, mate. Why don't you fuck off? If you don't read my book? If you not read my book, I'm in charge of the people's revolve, blah, blah, blah. How dare you come over here, your little worm. So we're, you little cunt, come back here. You little cunt.

I don't think of anyone called anyone, I don't think I've ever called anyone a little cunt. You little cunt. The Prime Minister. You little cunt. It's crazy. So the big thing, um... What's going on with Mastery as well? What's going on there?

Oh, I don't know. Is that BPD? He makes her a lady, a dame, lady forklarkner or something. So... Should we see what her voice was? Yeah, please, actually. A prime minister too. I think that this has been overdrawn and exaggerated simply because I was a woman.

You little cunt. Can you imagine her, that type of woman saying, You little cunt? You little cunt. God. Yes, I started that role. We came into office in 64 after 13 years of Conservative government. I said with her 106 times in 1956.

It wasn't satisfactory. Yeah, I mean, that's a cold mummy right there. That's a cold mummy, Charlie. That's a cold English mummy. I don't want that sort of mummy. You've either got that moment where you've got Thatcher mummy. That's what the mummies you've got. I want Thatcher mummy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good boy. is like Thatcher the cum snatcher. Yeah. Right. EEC membership. Yeah.

So obviously he's big thing is we're straight into Europe. Wilson's big thing is we'll put it to a referendum. Now, as a side note, it's fascinating to watch debates on YouTube about the EEC referendum. They're the most civilized highbrow thing ever

when you compare it to our fucking feral tripe that we were to watch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like Farage. and stirrish in people. But it's just two blokes sitting in chairs, similar studio to this, just talking so calmly at well,

I don't actually believe that sovereignty would be affected. The thing about sovereignty is that you lend it. Now it's like a giant boss saying the EU is filled with pedos. Exactly. Pido-e, P-do, more like,

P-E-Doh. And the old day says, if you don't use sovereignty, what's the point of having it? It's not something you just keep in the cellar and wheel out every now and check it's there. Pidos! Yeah.

Anyway, so there's a 1975 referendum asking whether the UK should remain in the EEC After two years I guess he came in... He came in in 74 And also he's very busy in 174 discussing the lunch plans

So he had stuff on So Wilson opts And this is kind of his genius political stroke Because he is he is sort of Well he is very good at Is managing warring factions Yes

Which is that well you have to be If you're going to be in charge The Labour Party Yeah And he opts for the Labour Party to hold no official position which means some people can support no. Yeah.

He publicly supports a yes vote. Yeah. They win the result, 67%. So to be fair to him, he does settle the European question for a generation, two generations. Ninety 75 was the first year that the Britain's population fell.

Oh yeah. Because so many people left. So many people left. It's like Ireland during the famine. Basically. Australia and New Zealand put limits. They close the door. They stop the boats.

They stop the boats. Because there are so many British. leaving. On a rubber dinghy. On a rubber ding. Please. Isn't that insane? Australia, New Zealand

say no more. Yeah. To us. Yeah. They don't know they're fucking born. I feel like Bowie. I think it's fucking

get Walter Walker in what it was called. Get him in. Wilson is obviously fucked. He's said to be tired of ruling the country. Yeah. He's completely ill.

I mean, he's constantly in campaign moment. It feels like what Wilson needs is a bit of like a bit of loving. Yeah. He needs a cuddle. Look there.

He needs a kiss on the forehead because his wife hates him. Doesn't care, right. Marcia's calling him a little cunt. You little cunt. Yeah, he just has no one who's given him a kiss and saying it's going to be okay. So then he starts another affair. There's another affair with Joe Haynes, his press secretary's assistant. Janet Hewlett Davis.

Let's have a look at her. Let's have a look at her. And this is an affair as incredibly secret. The affair was said to have been, quote, A little sunshine at sunset For an ailing Wilson She's attractive She's attractive

Look at that dancing That's quite sweet I mean the thing is I like Wilson I like Wilson I feel bad for him Yeah He's quite a likable guy Imagine your granddad

Getting fucking pegged by some angry woman Yeah I do feel quite defensive of him Saying stop pegging my grandpa You stop pegging my granddad It's like he just wants to sit in his chair With some words of original and you're calling him a cunt and tell him to get on all four

so you can milk him. I mean, it's not fair. It's, you know, is there no deference left in this country? Come on. Stop pegging my granddad. That is what's going on. Yeah.

It's awful. And look at him. He's so happy. Born dancing. Yeah, he's a likable guy, for sure. With his pipe and his slippers. He's also a brilliant mind and he's got dementia at this point.

It's very sad. But he's like his actual, his uh what he likes and part of the appeal of wilson is he's sort of like a hobbit yeah you know what the concept of what hobbit is they stay in the shires they like simple things that unpretentious right he the the big appeal is that he likes you know agatha christie novels yeah he likes smoking his pipe he likes board games he's a suburban pooter yeah exactly he's a putterish figure and that's that's what a lot of the appeal is isn't he big into boy scouts yeah he likes his big shorts yeah yeah you can see that big shorts he was supposedly the queen's

favorite prime minister? Yeah. Really? And she came in thinking that he was an anti-monicus, so there was going to be, there was frostiness

because any Labour politician the queen's a bit suspicious whole. But she grew to liking the most. Yeah. No, I've got a real soft spot for him and, yeah,

a platriot. One of the greatest platelets as country has ever had. A little cunt. A little cunt. Stop pegging my granddad. So Wilson resigns in 706.

And by the way, also, Nixon arrived. and sees his new affair with Janet. Oh, right. And says, oh, is this the woman I've been hearing so much about thinking that she's Marcia? Fuck. So even Nixon had heard about Marcia. But imagine, like, the state of the country and the American president comes and goes,

is this the woman you're on a fair with? No, it's another woman. Is this the one who's pegging granddad? No, it's another woman who I'm having an affair with who's not my wife. Dirty, grandpa. It's fucking insane. So Wilson resigned in 76, which shocks everyone. Because he's just, you know, he's one of our parents.

All of our parents were fucking teenagers at this point. Yeah. Both my parents became fully consenting sexual adults under Wilson's second term. Where do you draw the lines of consent now? When everyone does, turn 16. Are you a heathist or? I'm a heathist because I don't see consent. I don't see women or consent.

Both are work nonsense. Yeah, my parents are 14 to 16 during this period. Yeah, same, same thing. Wilson resides in 76 after suffering repeated illnesses Charlie's just got up the lowest age of consent in the world is Nigeria aged 11

What is that? Philippines and Angola are 12 Check flights to Nigeria How soon can we be in a cab How cheaper flights to Nigeria? Do they go from city airport? Yeah, is it direct? Can we get a city?

Do you think we, how quickly could we Should we just? Are history Nigeria? Maybe we should do a lot. Buy out from war. Let's do an episode on that. Can we do a live episode in Nigeria? Can we just pause this?

Part 10 will be a bit delayed, guys. Part 10 will be late. We've just suddenly had some works come up. I heard that in Italy there's no age of consent. Really? And I heard that years ago, and I've been saying that to everyone. Well, I think it's like, there's an official age of consent, but it's sort of like... Culturally, there's no age of consent.

It goes against their cult. The idea of consent in Italy is like, well, what are you talking about? Shut up of your face. It's constitution. There will be no consent. There is no consent here. Shut up your face.

Shut up your face. Open up your daughter. Age of consent is 14, Italy, is it? Is it? Mamma Mia. Christ. Will soon. Highest age of consent.

What's the highest age of consent? Who's, yeah. What fucking woke? No, no, it's not woke. Is it not, I don't know what's... Here we fucking go. Bahrain, 21. Here we go.

And if you're a woman and you want anal, it's Hong Kong fuck if you're a woman and you want anal if you're a woman is this on election is this on the election

this is my manifesto if you're a woman and do you want anal you're in luck we are lowering if you're a woman and you want to feel the white teeth

if you're a hard working woman I feel the white teeth of my anal technology and do you want anal they will make this the greatest country to be a woman who wants anal to reason make all the jams they're just about managing

the fucking women who want anal the wawa's Hong Kong you have to be 21 if you're woman for anal right so presumably vaginal can you type in what the vaginal age of consent is in Hong Kong because I'm fascinated by the

you know that that paints a picture of you're having sex in Hong Kong you know one slip and you broken the law yeah you know well you sound guilty when you're saying that so 16 five years to work up to the anal consent well you know there should be

you get someone to go to yeah but there's not five years between the badge and the ass well you're at divcultural relativism isn't it? I guess so that's fascinating the longest gap is that gap is that gap people say they don't learn things

in this podcast I learn something every day yeah I learn something every day I learn something every day in Hong Kong if you want anal you've got to be 21 Wow Marsy Williams pegs my granddad

Marsi Willie was pegged my granddad She tried that in Hong Kong She'd be fucking arrested Well because Wilson's not old enough Wilson's not old enough Right Wilson resigns in 76 After suffering repeated illnesses Like many prominences seemingly

They all do it into they fucking drop It kills you this job It does kill you It's an illness right Yeah He does have dementia And he's kind of You know his mind's going

So it's worse than going down of mine, isn't it, being the prime minister? Yeah. It's worse for your fucking help. Yeah, I think so. If you just, all you have to do is look at before and after photos. Yeah. It's shocking. Yeah. His quote is, I've been around this racetrack so often that I cannot generate any more enthusiasm for jumping any more hurdles. Can you imagine, I just can't really imagine politicians saying that. No, like, even trust. When they're kind of live losing interest.

Yeah. I'm fucking bored. This, I'm fucked. I'm bored as hell. Have you seen my face? Yeah. I'm done, mate. I guess the closest is Teresa. But then she got forced out. tried. Yeah. But their country, I love. I love.

And he's just like, ah, I've been around the block a bit. Yeah. So, I'm fucking naked. So there's this sense,

Wilson steps down. Yeah. And Jim Callahan, who is, I think, oh, what is he? Home Secretary,

foreign secretary at this point. He's the only pet man to have hold four offices. So he'll be in our next episode. He's done, yeah. Foreign home,

there is this sense, right, at the end of 76, that this country cannot keep propping up all the industries that are failing. Yeah. And the Labour Party

and actually all the all the politicians are trying to insulate communities from de-industrialisation. Yeah. But there's a sense that they all know this can't carry on. It's sort of inevitable. But they're carrying it on.

They can't not do it. They can't take the medicine. Because of the kind of founding charter of the Labour Party. No, I think it's more that it's 45. It's everyone, this is at least Britain. and no everyone fought in the war and no one feels like they

have the right to dismantle the post-war consensus. Well, yeah. This whole series has been the cuck-dad era. Yeah. Cuck-dadi, quiet dad. Waiting for bitch-mom. Yeah. And speaking of bitch-mum, in 1975, there are two people

going for the, no, there's one person called Sir Keith Joseph who's going for the Tory leadership against Heath. Yeah. And his campaign manager is Margaret Thatcher. So Keith Joseph makes a speech that basically boils down to, quote, stop working class women having children to stop the degeneration of the nation. Right.

He comes out in favour of eugenics. Right. He's a scholar. And this fucks his chances. And so Thatcher says, well, if you're not going to run, I'm going to run. And so Thatcher goes to Heath and says, I'm going to stand. She's the first woman to even run? I think.

Because there's Barbara Castle, but she wasn't. Barbie asshole. Yeah. I'm trying to think of for this whole story. Shirley Williams. Shirley Williams is in Cabinet. in the 70s. So there's cabinet ministers,

but people who are actually going for leadership, Maggie's the first. Probably. Yeah. Maggie ran so Trus could walk. Yeah. Trusker's strapped.

Anyway, we need to wrap up Howard Wilson. It's his second time on the pause. Look, I feel, obviously, I really like him. I love Wilson.

Yeah. I feel obviously the second term is a disaster. It was one of the toughest hands. Yeah. His heart wasn't in it. No. all legacy. He has a lot of lasting things.

But I guess where will we put him? Because it's hard to put him high because it still was filled the disasters. Yeah. He was being rode like a horse around Downing Street as the country fell apart. He probably shouldn't have done the second term in retrospect. He wasn't up for it. Because arguably what Thatcher is able to do is to pin the entire post-war consensus on labor because of the second term, even though it was just as much to stand to Heath, really.

But he seems like not a truly seedy man and a decent man compared to the rest. Well, he had lots of affairs. A decent man had lots of affairs and was being pegged by his private secretary. Yeah, to be fair. But he wasn't a spy. I think we can say that. He wasn't a spy. As in he wasn't gay.

And he wasn't gay. Clearly wasn't gay. He was too straight, if anything. Yeah, he was too straight. but inflation soars peaks around 26% unemployment's going up there's industrial unrest

and so we come to Where do we put him? I mean how can you compare 70s Prime Ministers to 50s I think it's impossible Because that's why Eden probably is at the bottom Because 50s you still have a good hand And he fucking nuked it

But what else was he going to do? I don't know Just give up the canal Yeah I know But you know he didn't handle it well No he didn't and it's the biggest fuck up and it's still remembered.

I mean, and it was still like on the international stage. Wilson's first term is transformational. Yeah. So probably, we probably put him midway somewhere. In our next episode,

the final episode of this marathon series that surely by this point, the algorithms deserted us. Surely you guys are sick of this. Surely. You must be sick of this. Surely you're not watching anymore. In our final episode,
