Welcome back to Finn versus history. I'm here with Horatio Gould. You've never heard it so good. Today we're talking Harold McMillan. Yes.

We are into part five of our marathon through the post-war British Prime Ministers. Girls wear extra pants today. It's an hour on Harold McMillan. Double up. Double up, ladies. You're going to need a protective layer of pants underneath your normal pants.

The boys are talking about Harold Macmillan, 1957 to 1963 domestic policies. My God. I can hear the frothing

twats from here. It's like the Niagara Falls. Oh, ladies, if you would, just please double up on your

pants. We're about to make wry, witty observations about Harold McMillard's domestic policies. It's one of

my favorite Prime Minister, I think. Oh, you? I actually, there's a lot here. No,

there's a lot here. It's actually good. And our audience will be fucking grateful for for the feed, actually. More? More? You want more?

Less. Slinging bread. Less, you want less? Less. You don't want less. You want more. It's McMillan. McMummy, Lynn. I think actually... You've never had it so good as his most famous quote. You've never had it. And that's how I feel to the fucking audience. You've never had it so soggy.

You've never had it so... I genuinely feel like this is the first premiership we've got to where today's audience would recognise how it felt, I think. To what? To like modern premierships. and I think it's a recognisably modern premiership sex scandals cuckoldry

cuckoldry you know deference has gone people are thinking oh they're all the fucking same how people feel about Howard McMillan is I imagine how people feel similar to the beginning of the line of getting to the point where they're all the fucking

not another one another one yeah Brenda from Bristol is saying that about Howard McMillard it's just that what she's saying that about is what he's been cuckolded again not another one He's watching another one, fuck his wife. I think looking up, I didn't know much about McMillan, but he's actually quite interesting.

It's fascinating. I also think it's the real hinge point in like the kind of old world, new Britain. This is the real hinge. Because it was almost like he wasn't, he would have been a better prime minister if he'd maybe got into power 10 years earlier maybe or in a different period. The main thing that happened was the times left him and he couldn't adapt. Yeah, and his wife left him as well. And his wife left him. And he did adapt, to be fair to that.

He adapted very well. I mean, that's very well. She was having an affair with one of his ministers for... 30 years. And supposedly fathered his youngest daughter. But he just cracked on. It's the definition of stiff upper lip. Yeah, he really is.

He's the last gentleman to be in... He's the most gentleman we've ever... He's the classiest guy we've ever had as Prime Minister. Yeah. In that he was a 30-year test cricket cup. Yeah. 30 years. But also the idea of the gentleman has become cartoonish

and he plays up to that. Yes. Because he actually isn't, a lot of it is artifice. He knows that he's playing up to it. He's not a true, like I feel with Eden, there was a seriousness

and a sincerity to his. Well, you think, well, you think, yeah, definitely. That was a huge part of it

was this kind of like throwback to an earlier time. He's like, you know, he's going to English mom and America dad, but he claims a Scottish ancestry. Yes.

Like a lot of it is just all artifice. He really plays up this kind of, of cartoonish version of a gentleman for sure you see throughout his career as well

that he is very like calculated what he does unflappable he's unfre yeah as cucks are

yeah they're not easily flustered by dicks raining down on their spouse they do yeah

they have not touch flaps in years yeah they're unflapped yeah exactly in all senses of the word they're fully

flat dodgers they're flat watchers yeah and yet it's so ironic isn't it that for a prime minister

who is literally not getting any. No. To be undone by a sex scandal. I mean, it's as juicy as it gets from my point of view. The cuck's burden. The cuck's burden. No sex, but sex ruins your life.

Yeah, that's Kipling's famous novel, The Cucks Burden. So let's place this for the Thickos. We're in 1957 when Lillan comes to power. So 1957, that is... So that would be, I guess that would be... It's just after... After the invention of the washing machine? Yes, can we just confirm that, Charlie,

but I do believe washing machines are around and I think people are using them. 1851. The modern. What about the modern one? 1937 was the automatic washing machine. And it's before the invention of the rabbit sex toy. Yes, again, something that Millen would never have laid eyes on.

Let's have a look. The idea of the rabbit originally early 1980s, can we get a picture of the rabbit vibrator? Lovely. Now, that does make me feel fairly redundant anatomically because they've got... It seems to have two dicks. Yeah.

Which if that's what women want, then what is the point of a man? Well, do you need another fella in there? I guess so. You need two fellas in there. Well, that's what Howard McMillan realized. But the Japanese, they're, you know, they're all innovators in the 80s. They're really trying a lot of stuff. So I guess it really, no Englishman would have thought of this.

What? The top bit. The top bit. Yeah, that's not. The English mind can comprehend something like that. They still can't, I don't think. I think the English gentleman's mind is still astounded by the rabbit toy. Right, but again, to get it back on topic,

Macmillan straddles the two eras of no but stuff, but stuff. Right. 57, 63. Yeah. We're getting into the butty decade. He straddles it, but it's not like he's got a foot in each column. No.

He's very much from the old world. He's got a foot in neither column. He's wandered into a sex party in a three-piece suit. With a monocle going, my God, have some respect, which is what I feel like. So I feel a lot of relate to me. I relate to McMillan a lot. So, McMillan is known for this famous saying,

you've never had it so good. Because he governed during a period of economic prosperity. But there were cracks underneath it all, because we just had Suez. But by economic prosperity, everyone's got a telly. And so people are happy. Yeah. Because this country is thick as shit.

Yeah. And if you put a telly in front of them, it doesn't matter what's going on. Yeah. You know, it's fine, right? Well, just being alive for kind of ever had been absolutely awful. Yeah, that's true. And now it was kind of like just a bit.

shit. Yeah. So it is like, the 50s is extraordinary change from basically if your poor life has been

absolutely awful forever. It's always been fucking terrible. And now you've got a telly where you can watch people do stuff

and it's all right for a bit. Yeah. So, and what are they doing on the telly? They have got Eurovision begins in

1950s. Who wins the first Eurovision? Switzerland. Switzerland. Right. Okay, because it's interesting.

Obviously the thing is that we always lose Eurovision. Yeah. Get up the leaderboards of the most wins in Eurovision. Ireland and Sweden. Seven victories. Follow closely.

France five. We're tied third place with Luxembourg. Fuck off. Israel four. Yeah, they like winning. Fucking out. When was Israel admitted? Oh, I don't want to go down that road.

For me, that's the most controversial thing they've done is John Eurovision. How they've got into Eurovision. I mean, the West Bank's one thing, but Eurovision, they're not any way near Europe. Yeah, but it's said in the Old Testament. Oh, that they have to join Eurovision. Yeah, the settlers. They're their five, they've settled in.

They were part of Eurovision 5,000 years ago. Of course they were. Yeah, of course. The first Eurovision. So Blue Peter starts in 58. Here we go. Did you watch Blue Peter growing up? Obviously I watched Blue Peter growing up.

Katie Hill, Connie Huck, Worf. That's in the slot. I think actually... This is Fat Taylor. This is Fat Horny Taylor. Dreaming of Katie Hill. Katie Hill and Connie Hart This is stud pig

This is stud pig Stud pig Taylor Watch out Katie Hill There's a violent stud pick Just rutting Waiting to charge at you You broke a lot of tellies With the amount of humping

You were doing Yeah I was rutting the TV Katie Hill She did a toothpaste advert After she left Blue Peter In a very low cut top That's what I remember This is early

This is kind of preteen Sexual Awakening Studpick stuff The stud pig away The innocence Of the sexual awakenings of your youth a toothpaste advert.

Yeah. Now if you're eight years old, it's like, oh yeah, my sexual awakening is when I typed in gang bang to porn hub. That was when I kind of awakened

my sexual thing is when I typed in loads of sex right now, please. I was thinking, because like, I was thinking that actually nowadays, you can't, like when we were kids, you could get rid of porn

and you could, you had some deniability about it because it would just be like a still photo of a naked woman. You could throw it in the bin. No, but as in you could just minimize the window. But now kids are caught

and they've got a fucking, in VR headset and like an automatic fleshlight and they're hogtie and they're like do, do, chug, dog, dog, do. You could be like, I'm on Amazon. Yeah, like, what are you doing? I'm watching the highlights of the football. I'm watching Match the Day.

Now, Match the Day does start here, by the way. I think Match the Day is Wilson, I think. Maybe it's Wilson. 64, yeah, so Match the Day is Wilson, excuse me. That was the week there was. Yeah, that's the satire show. Right. But the first carry-on film is released in 195.

You know what? I don't really know anything about the carry-on films. They're a bit of fun. They're referenced all the time. It's kind of my... It's what my dad's... Is it the same as an Ealing comedy? No, no, no, no, very different. Carry-on films is like a very...

It's sort of Benny Hill-esque. It's like the height of camp comedy. Farse. It's fast, but it's... Lude? Basically, in every film, Barbara Windsor gets chased, and as she gets chased, a bit of clothing comes off. Right.

Get snagged on, like, a twig. So it's sexy farces. It's the ultimate, like, end of the pier. sex, farce. It's all gay jokes. Do they hold up? Being gay is illegal

and yet everyone's going to laugh at how gay Kenneth Williams is. Yeah. This episode of Finn versus History is brought to you by Surf Shark. Now, you use VPNs, don't you?

The Indian and Chinese immigration has meant a lot of restaurants beginning to introduce. So, Buttlins is around. Buttlins has introduced chop suey and chips to holiday camps.

I mean, I was at a snooker club last night, and for £2.50, they served curry noodle, which feels like that is post-war British immigration isn't it? Curry noodle at a snooker

a very English snook or you're either curry or your noodle ain't you? Which one are you? Where are you from from? It's just curry and noodle

same thing curry noodle or either have chips or I have curry noodle the fittest woman and now this is I would argue this is where fit women

begin Yeah I mean 60s come on Ursula Andrus Yeah The first big girl Smoke shows to end all smoke shows

look at in the out in the bikini out in the beach this is where the first bond film comes out 62 doctor no now we're cooking connery's around yes you know this feels like britain to me yeah it's starting to make sense a bit curry noodle ursler andrus yes please yeah you know slang for boobes in this era norks norks look at ursler's norks can we get the etymology of norks please yeah where is it is it a saxon word Norman Nork The slang termed Nork

It's Australian in origin Etymology is unknown But one theory suggests It comes from Norco-corruptive LTD A Butter Manufacture whose packaging feature

The Cow's Uder Right So it's a brand of butter So Norks comes from butter So look at those buttery norks I guess So we've gone from Was it under Eden

It was chandeliers And now it's Norks You can see the degradation You can You can see the end of deference Can't you? When a woman's boobs were shiny. Oh, I can barely look at those wonderful chandeliers.

Now, show us your norks, love! We used to be gazing up at chandeliers, and now we're looking down at norks. That buttery old norks. Get you, spread those norks on toast. My God. This is also the beginning. This is the beginning of sniggering.

It is, of smirking. I don't think sniggering existed before this. This is like the beginning that, you know, people realised they could snigger at things. Yes. You didn't used to snigger. Oh, ha. Yeah, and now private eye, the kind of...

Have I got news for you? One of the tent poles of sniggering. Yes, exactly. The satire boom is now... New sounds are filling London. Exactly. You'd never... Sit a dolphin in the bathtub.

The Daily Mail! You just never even heard this or. Yeah, the sound of the 60s is Paul Merton going... Now, McMillan becomes PM in 1957. Eden has just stepped down because he's completely fucked. He's fucked. it and he's off to have sex with Ian Fleming's wife in Jamaica. When Macmillan becomes Prime Minister, he tells the Queen,

oh, I might not last six weeks following Suez. She reminds him of this six years later. It was a funny, a funny wry joke because that's what this is all about. The comedy of the time is very wry. It's cuck's humour. Macmillan had a sizable majority, and so he wasn't going to call an election unless he felt he had to. So before we get into his premiership, who was Harold?

the story let's go back and talk about this cuck a cuck from birth so went to Eton expelled for being a homo which you have to be really gay to get expelled from Eton because there's a whole

there's a whole like culture of like fagging and stuff fagging yeah so do you explain what fagging is I think we'll probably explain that with the next Prime Minister because that's literally all he is a fag yeah right but he gets expelled for homosexuality he goes to Oxford but doesn't graduate

because of World War I. He marries Lady Dorothy Cavendish in 1920. They were a mismatch and by that they mean that he was gay. It didn't quite,

yeah, match up. One was gay and one was straight. My favourite all-time Norm MacDonald joke is Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson have split up. Friends say

they was never going to work out because she's more of a stay-at-home type and he's more of a homosexual pedophile. Yeah, yeah. They were a mismatch but they still had four children together. Supposedly the last one is not his. but the conservative politician Robert Boothby

from this point in 29 they live separate lives because divorce would affect his political career and he's so humiliated but apparently he has a nervous breakdown in 1931 but then he gathers his thoughts he gets some composure he resolves that he will be

this country's first ever cuck prime minister innovator he's like a barma in a way yeah hope hope just cuck McMillan Cut for change So, by the 1960s, right, to fast forward

Because the affair's pretty juicy Boothby, who is a... Oh, not Boothby again. I mean, Boothby sounds like a guy who's fucking your wife, doesn't he? Yeah. Boothby. Richard Boothby. No, Robert Boothby.

So he's this dashing young Tory MP and he becomes this sort of flamboyant figure in the London Nightlife seen in the 60s. Yeah. And he has a taste for young women and young boys. Boothby? Boothby.

Boothby. both ways. He's the 60s. He's in both booths. He's in both booths. He's booth by. He's drilling a hole on the booth and shoving his dick

through it. He doesn't matter what's stuck in the end of it. Doesn't give a fuck. Doesn't give a fuck. As long as there's something at the end of it. He's not fussy.

He's not a fussy eater. No, no, no. Gobble, gobble, gobble. Whatever's put in front of him, he'll gobble. He'll finish his plate. He's grateful. Waste not want not.

It's that wartime spirit. Yeah, exactly. That generation, they just, you know, they turn the lights off. they gobble whatever that's put in the mouth. We just got on with it, you know,

whatever. We're all bisexual. You don't understand if you grew up in the wall. You were grateful. Anyway, he likes a drink and he starts going out

to all these nightclubs and it brings him into the orbit of the Kray twins, right? Because they've started running nightclubs and also I think it's Reggie Kray is openly homosexual

brackets in the right rooms. But is a terrifying homosexual where it makes him harder he's like the most violent man in East London and he's kind of an open homosexual but he's also the fucking hardest geyser yeah he's the hardest geyser

he really is yeah it's kind of makes them it basically shows I'm so fucking hard that I can be openly homosexual and get away I don't fucking take it I'm not a puffter but I think they didn't that thing about them banging each other Ronnie was

yeah you found an article yeah gangsters 20s Ronnie had secret gay sex with each other yeah that's kind of like a big thing thrown against them which is a bit odd do you think they get awkward after they come what are they doing? Oh they're just so fucking hard

yeah I think they punch each other in the face and they go off yeah fuck off yeah fuck off I'm not gay fuck off you're gay they both called each other homophobic slurs while they're fucking proffered do you reckon they wrestle to see who would be on top

I mean yeah I mean that's I've said this on my other podcast and that's the big appeal of gay sex for me the wrestling bit yeah yeah you like a wrestle what part of me is like isn't it interesting being physically as strong as the person you're having sex with? Who's going to end up on top?

We don't know. Oh, yeah, I guess it is more exciting, isn't it? Yeah, that to me is a big... And it was illegal. God, it's so exciting. Yeah, it's a bit... You can really roughhouse and it's fine because you're both fucking big, fucking burly blocs.

In the eyes of the law, yeah, you're the same. Yeah. But you were saying the thing that put you off is the idea of like looking out into the kind of corner of the room. Yeah, no, no. I don't want to get bummed because I don't want to... I don't like the idea of just staring at a wallpaper or something.

Never forgetting that lamp. Yeah. So you could be looking up, looking up at the stars. Yeah, too fair. Maybe I'm not adding romance tonight. Some of us are looking up at the stars. Well, I'm looking at the fucking gutter. Anyway, in 64, right, Boothby strikes this arrangement up with Ronnie Cray that involves,

he'd socialise at the Cray clubs in the West End. He would meet young boys supplied by the Cray network and then money would change hands. Do you have a young boy supplier? Sorry? Do you have a young boy supplier? Yes, but I'm not going to throw my dealer out into the open. Not deliver boy. Yeah, deliver boy.

It's just a got a little piggyback. Anyway, so the Sunday Mirror gets hold of this story and he's going to publish a piece about a quote, prominent peer associating with craze and rent boys. But, now McMillan at this point is out of office and he's still alive. But the whole thing threatens to blow up because it would sort of publicly open up the open secret

of the Millenger Cuck and has had his daughter's father by... Is that confirmed? In political circles, yeah, it's understood. So his daughter isn't his... One of his daughters isn't, is supposedly Boothby's. And his daughter thinks her dad's Boothby's.

Christ. So Boothby hires a liable lawyer, blah, blah, blah. And the entire establishment, Labour and Conservative closes ranks and stops the story coming out because it would expose like... How gay...

The whole thing's fucking... The whole thing. Homosexuality in 60s. is still illegal, I think. Anyway, let's get to his war record. Now, he volunteered at the start of World War I. He's severely wounded in the Somme, so much so that he spent 12 hours in a shellhole

playing dead to avoid the Germans. I don't understand this bit. While he's playing dead, he reads Eastcalis in the original Greek to pass the time. But is that like... Is he like this? Well, he must be like, oh, I'm quite bored. I mean...

I guess it's pre-Tick-Tic-Toc when, you know, the stimulation, you could read a book in Greek and that would be enough dopamine to keep you going. Because now if you're playing dead, you'd be like... It's funny, yeah, but it's funny that a German would walk past and think, oh, that's annoying, that guy got killed just as he was reading Aeschylus.

It's weird. Anyway, he's left with a limp from his hip injury and a weak grip on his right hand from a gunshot wound, which means... We're grip on his wife, I think, as well. Yeah, it means his hand rising shit and he's got a weak handshake.

So he's just kind of like, how much of the cuxing is nature, nurture, the war, you know, yeah, because it felt like a lot of these British politicians, the war didn't make them more macho. No. It slapped a lot of the masculinity out of them and traumatised them. Well, it made Churchill more hard drinking and give a shit. Yeah.

But everyone else. Yeah. Anyway, after the war, well, he's very proud of his military service, even though he spent it all hiding in a hole. Reading Greek. And he expresses disdain for politicians like Harold Wilson. Wilson, who had not seen combat, because Wilson will get to, but Wilson basically is a civil servant during the war. He then becomes a partner at McMillan Publishers.

Which is his family publishers. I don't think he's involved in the council one. Oh, no, I don't think so. No. Maybe. It's not McMillan cuck care. Yeah. Blah, blah, blah.

He's a housing minister under Churchill, which is Churchill's great domestic success is the housing. Yeah. So he's a very skilled minister. Which Churchill would never have any idea about. He doesn't know. He doesn't know. He has no idea. What?

Foreign secretary under Eden, which we should talk about because he is the one who, he is the one who, He was persuading Eden that if they doesn't withdraw from Suez, like we've already lost £100 million worth of sterling reserves. Yeah. When in fact, the figure was actually 30. And so, but he's trying to persuade Eden to pull out straight away. But McMillan was wrong on both fronts because he persuaded Eden to go. Yeah, he's such a snake.

And he's told Eden to leave when it was too early to leave. Yeah. On both counts he was wrong. Exactly. But he's, he could have been seen to be playing Eden for the position. And then he just something. Oh, right. So sacrificing him.

Yeah. Well, that's what I mean. I think McMillan is a really Machiavellian figure, and it's all a lot of, like, he has a real drive for power that seems to come across, and he fucks people over a lot. So basically, when a Butler, who there's even a book written on Butler saying

the best Prime Minister Britain had, right? You know, and he was the most qualified and expected to take the role, right? And the way that the Tories choose their leaders, they're the 1922 committee, right? Yeah. As opposed to having a party vote, right? They have a group of people decide it.

And all the press are saying, Butler's going to be the next PM. Butler is talking with his wife about what suit he's going to wear when he announces it. He goes to the 1922 committee. I think he brings Macmillan with him and it's the big mistake.

And he just does quite a dry speech saying, I'll do this, this and this. And McMillan says, oh, well, actually, I've got some ideas. And there's this huge flowery speech hitting all the right notes, like gives it everything, a Shakespeare performance, basically.

And then a couple of days passed. and they choose McMillan. Yeah. Butler screams treachery, and he gets fucked. But then in retrospect, I think Millen thinks Butler would have been a better PM or something. Well, he's a cuck, isn't it?

Yeah, exactly. I didn't do a good job. Someone else do it. So, ultimately, arguably he came into the easiest, you know, Atticane is a hard position. There's lots of people, Wilson's second term,

hard position, but maybe this is the easiest premise shit to come into? Well, I guess, well, Suez's just happened, so he has to repair the rift between Britain and America, which he does and then gets called Super Mac. Yeah, maybe. So he meets frequently with Eisenhower following the Suez thing. Eisenhower offers

to supply Britain with a ballistic missile, equipped with nuclear warheads, and blah, blah, blah. He eventually settles the matter. His whole thing early on is that he's like, we've got to get into Europe, because France, Germany and maybe the low countries are talking about

a proto-EU. So, EEC or something, that's it. And so he's always trying to get in. Because he's basically, he's thinking that the Commonwealth's, this is when the Commonwealth starts to go a bit shit. Or rather than... Well, there's an idea that the Commonwealth could be like a sort of adapted British Empire, but didn't really work.

But then apartheid kicks off and he's like, well, I don't think this is us actually. Yeah. This is a different thing. Or a bit rich for my blood. This is a bit rich, actually. Yeah. I'd like to just sit there and watch it though.

I don't mind just watching it. I'd like to sit and watch apartheid. Yeah. So... Because he's actually, he's a very liberal. Tory. Well, they all are at this point. Yeah, they're all kind of one nation.

Yeah. He very nearly joined Labor. McMillan? Yeah. So he was on the cost. Well, this is the closest they've actually been in his parties. And that's partly what cancelled labour out during this period. Yeah.

It's just like there's nothing to really split them up. So let's get to the 59 election. The Labour parties split between Gateskill and Bevan. The campaign slogan, life's better. Life's better with the Conservative. Don't let Labor ruin it. So very dull campaigns during this period. Yeah.

And this is where... No, we're better. Okay. This is where he says, most people never had it so good. Right. And this is, it gets thrown back in his face later on when things get bad. But what he's actually saying, which is the kind of seed that will take us through to the

rest of the end of the series, is please stop. Trade unions, asking for more money, please. Yeah. Because you've actually, this is really good. And the more money you ask for, you're fucking us. Yeah. But no one ever remembers the second bit. Anyway.

Which we just quoted word for word. Which we just quoted word for word. Please don't take more money because you're fucking us. And I don't, I've got enough. done my cuckdom, my cuckdom for a horse. I've got enough things to watch being fucked. I don't need the economy as well. So, his premiership is mainly defined by the sort of rapid

drawing up of the empire bridge. Because it's been like, as we've seen, it's been a sort of slow trickle. Picking up now. And he's now like, right. It's literally an audit of an empire. Yeah. So he commissions a report to assess how we go about decolonising. There's a bunch of insurrections. It's all like, let's get rid of

the Commonwealth to get rid of the empire and go into the EEC. That's the thing. However, so he puts it all in on the EEC. Because Europe is picking up now because Europe, we straight away from Europe after the war because Europe was in complete ruins and tatters and the only person to play it was America. But now there's a bit more of a boom happening in Europe and now it suddenly seems more appealing to join Europe basically. And he would later say that that was the big problem was that we didn't join at the start where we could have formed it. Right. So then it was never on Britain's terms it was for French and German capital. But he puts it all his eggs in the EEC basket

and then De Gaul in 62 or three vetoes Britain's entry because DeGault just fucking hates the Brits and then McRillan goes home and cries. And wanks of it. Probably wanks. But yeah, just a prime minister crying. What's de Gaul got to fucking... Charlie, can you just Google what the fuck de Gaul's problem is?

Yeah, because I mean... Is it Dunkirk? great success of de Gaulle is in the post-war years is underplaying how fucked the French were in the World War II. Right. Because they win the peace unbelievably well. They get a seat at the Security Council. Unbelievable that.

Unbelievable. They get fucking nuclear weapons. They get all of these things. They start dicing up Germany. It's like, what? You guys had your feet up on a sheds wall. Yeah. Throughout the whole war.

You've just been dipping. And that's what his thing is just tricking everyone to forgetting about how they acted during the war. Oh, okay. So, on the map. matter of, he hates us because, partly because of Suez, because Suez was a French and British initiative. And we, and we backed out. We cucked it. We were like, no, worried. And he then and embarrassed French as well. Yeah. Yeah. So he feels there's too much American influence.

So that's one of the reasons why Vito Sprintz bring's application. Right. McMillan says he wants to end the burden of empire, but for Britain to remain a great power. He said he didn't want to oversee the British Empire's liquidation, but rather its transition into some new modern entity. And so, in 1959, Ian McLeod has appointed as colonial secretary, and it's a fucking Oprah Winfrey fire sale. Right. Sixth, Cyprus, Nigeria, gone. Sierra Leone, Tanganyika, which I think is Tanzania. Right. Jamaica, Trinidad, Uganda. Fucking hell. Kenya, Malawi, Malta, Waya Yugi, Zambia. They all go. Gone. Gone. Gone. In four four years. And he does this winds

of change speech which is in, I think that's in South Africa and he goes up there and he's basically like the winds of change are blowing through this continent. And since the end of the war we have seen the awakening of national consciousness in peoples who have for centuries lived in dependence upon some other power. 15 years ago

this movement spread through Asia. Today the same thing is happening in Africa. The wind of change is blowing through this continent and whether we like it or not the growth of national consciousness is a political fact. We must all accept it as a fact. Meanwhile, the Afghans are going, well, we're just going to fucking... They're like white people who haven't had all the kind of, I don't know, emotional growth that Britain's had.

Yes. We've been slacked about during the wars and traumatized, and we've got a newfound empathy. And these guys haven't. Fuck off. They're like Britain in the 1780s. Yeah. What do you mean you're said? Okay.

Go up. Are you a fucking child? Are you a cuck? Are you cuck? Are you cuck? That's what they're shouting when he's doing the speech. Cuck! And they think this is right, this is the end of empire.

All the white settlers are like, right, they used fucked it. Yeah. We're not going to be run by a cuck in Britain. No. We're going to basically make an apartheid state. And at McMillan, for a cuck, he says, I hope you won't mind my saying, frankly, there are some aspects of your policy which make it impossible for us to do this without being false to our own deep convictions. Yeah, I mean, that's the most cucky thing to say.

That's a very cuck way of saying he's anti-apartite. Yeah. But he introduces a South African goods boycott, 59. That's pretty good. So they leave for South Africa alone. because of all the apartheid stuff. Oh, so the Cuban Missile Crisis happens. Yeah, so his relationship with Eisenhower is pretty good.

Yeah. What's his relationship like with Kennedy? I think they're a bit of a mismatch. There you go. Look, Kennedy referred to McMillan's uncle Harold and saw him as a father figure. Because there are times when the American president that British Prime Minister kind of a line. Bush and Blair.

Bush and Blair. They got on very well. They got on. Blair and Clinton. Thatcher and Reagan. They had this kind of like sexual chemistry. I mean, they're like a leading man and woman. Yeah.

They're like Bond and Bongo. Yeah. But Blair and Clinton, they're like, they're like, They're like fuck boys together. Yeah. Like if it was now, they'd be wearing cos. Yeah, exactly. They're the fucking, they love hanging out.

I did not have relations with that woman. What relations haven't gone that well? Well, Trump, Theresa May is the ultimate. That handshake. Yeah. Oh, God. That's actually one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. Yeah.

That handshake. Obama and Cameron playing ping pong. I felt it was a bit forced. It was for the cameras, that relationship. Yeah. Oh, that's just, this is horrible. This is the way they hold hands. Oh.

Oh, Christ. Yeah, this is... That feels like sexual assault. Yeah. The way he's holding her hand. It's disgusting. But then also, it's very funny for like, JFK, as we've discussed,

the horniest president ever, the guy who has more affairs than anyone. Yeah. And McMillan is Uncle Cuck. Right, yeah. He once witnessed a typist sent to JFK's bedroom on a visit to the PM's home,

bouncing up and down on Kennedy's knee, while he sang Irish sea shanties to her. McMillan's dead. just watching the bloody hell i guess mcmillan is quite a satisfying portrayal of an english person if you're american yeah it's like oh that's why i think you're all like but this is the ultimate like if suez was a marker

of how far we've fallen for then like jfk the young like virile fuck boy president to go up against the old english cut but this defines the british the special relationship from now on isn't it we're uncle cuck yeah yeah that's what we are yeah weirdly uh relationship seems to be surprisingly good is stama trump yeah

I mean, they seem to be going on pretty well. Starman doesn't say anything, though. No, I know. I guess not. So, let's get to the scandals that kind of end McMillan. Yeah. So there's the vassal scandal, which is a gay spy scandal. Right.

And all spies are gay at this point. Yes, of course. At this point, if you're gay, you are a spy. Yeah. And if you're spy, you're gay. Yeah. Or more, it's more like that thing where they say, like, well, not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.

Yeah, yeah. Not all spies are gay, but all guys are spies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So a vassal scandal, a gay clerical officer at the Moscow embassy is photographed drunk and naked with several men in 1954. And the Soviets used this to blackmail him

into becoming a spy. Homosexuality is illegal at this point. He returns to London in 56 and carries on spying, passing thousands of classified documents to the KGB aiding the Soviet Navy. You know, he lives far beyond his means, which is, I guess, is the kind of the ultimate

but the Greek tragedy of a gay spy is that he will eventually out himself because he's got too much for a lavish lifestyle. I think the best spies are straight because you're, you know, idea you live with nothing. Yeah.

You don't like anything. You have no friends. Yeah, you don't need to go to Soho and spend, you know, get oysters and champagne. Exactly. Yeah. Because you're like, well, that's ridiculous.

I'll just drink water. I'll just drink water and stare in my room and read a book. Yeah. But gays are, you know, they're showmen, they're gossipy. There's a lot of hubris for being gay, you know? You think they get their comeuppance?

but you know yeah it's too loud loud voices i've never met worse whispers than gaymen they're famously terrible with secrets i don't understand why it makes no sense that gay people are seen as spies gossips uh anyway this guy vassal he owns 36 savel row suits despite earning 750 pounds a year right he tries to claim this as an inheritance right and then on 12th of september 1962 so sort of what 912 yeah he's arrested by British intelligence

confesses and reveals spine equipment in his flat. What, like binoculars? I guess that it's all it is, isn't it, at this point? What, a cup. A cup with the string. And the scandal prompts gossip about homosexuals in government.

A Sunday Mirror article titled How to Catch a Homo. Let's find out how to catch a homo, accuses the admiralty of ignoring obvious signs. Let's find that article, because I, in 2025, don't know how to catch a homo. I mean, there's probably a homo in this room with us right now. I think I've got this is my suspicions.

I've got my suspicions. But how do we catch him? How do we catch him? Do we lay traps? Right. Have to spot a possible homo. Daily mirror. You can, and we'll meet them, in London's Bond Street.

Tokyo's Ginza, Rome's via Veneto, Glasgow's Sochi Hall Street. Right. And the road to Madelae. And the street where you live. They're everywhere. Vassal, the spy, was a homo. He lived like one. He acted like one.

Yet here, in the formal, carefully chosen words, I mean, they're not that carefully chosen. I'm just pot-fucking, live like a fucking homo. We are told by Lord Radcliffe and his two assistants, so far as we can see, nothing short of active police detective work would have offered any clue to the fact that he was a practicing homosexual. He's practicing.

He's practicing. Do you practice? I don't practice homosexuality, and that's what's let me down. Yeah, you've got to be practicing. Because I'm practicing, because when homosexuality comes, I haven't practiced.

I'm always in the nets. I'm doing three. throwdowns. I'm shadow batting most days. You know those goalkeeper trainings where they kick the ball at that like net and it flies off a different? That's me. So what's a bowling machine?

Just flying dildos at you. The Russians indeed had caught him through his homosexual proclivity. Right. I was saying this to you at some point. I can't remember when the word proclivity is only ever used when you're talking about someone who's gay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't mind whatever proclivities and I'm not spending any more time on it. There's some blossom blooms. This is the opposite though. I'm spending a lot of time on it because it's disgusting. Oh, here we go. Basically, homoes fall into two groups.

The obvious and the concealed. Obvious. Those who dye their hair touch up their lips and walk with a gay little wiggle. Walk with a gay little. The little is taking the piss. Gayless wiggle could be spotted by a one

eye jack on a foggy day in black wall tunnel right can we just right what's a one eye jack and it's a foggy day in black wall tunnel is that a euphemism or they're trying to say is that saying i don't know i guess it means you could literally from like a mark from a mile off you could have one eye you can be in a dark tunnel and you could spot this gay guy just by hearing his high heels clipping along with him going oh i'm gay bear in mind it's illegal to be gay at this point And then there are men going, hello! Because I think, one eye, Jack, going up, put... I mean, you can genuinely, to be fair,

addictness aside, you can split all gabber into obvious and concealed. If you had to. Well, it's in print media, I believe it. Yeah. But if you have to split them up that way, it wouldn't be that hard. Schofield, concealed. Concealed. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, there's some things. Yeah. Ricky Martin. Obvious. What do you think? Living in Lovida, Loka. I thought Andrew Scott, obvious.

Alan Cumming, obvious. His name's coming. Obvious. Elton John. Obvious. Ian McKellen. As Gandalf concealed. Concealed. Alan Cumming hosting the traitors.

Get that up? Oh yeah. That's about as gay as it gets. That's about as obvious as it gets. Alan coming, but he's not fully gay. Apparently he's got a wife. He's bisexual. Right.

Right. Images. Yeah. I mean. I scroll down. I mean. Yeah. Beret and eyeliner.

A one-eye jack Sporting him in a foggy day But then also throwing a one-eye jack Up a foggy day in Blackwall Tunnel I mean that sounds like sex Yeah Let's read about the concealed Yeah go back to the article

So that's obvious And then we have the concealed They wear silk suits And sit up at cheechy bars With full bosomed ladies Or they wear hairy sports jackets And give their wives a black eye When they get back from the working men's club

Right This is unbelievable Quote they are everywhere and they can be anybody. How then are we ever going to pick them out? The author goes on to suggest that having spoken to a psychiatrist, there are five categories of hidden homosexuals. I mean, that's amazing.

The hidden homosexual, they can do straight, respectable things, like give their wife a black eye after being at the working men's club. Yes, because they're trying to conceal it. So these are the hidden homosexuals. And if it's gay, not just punch your wife in the face. You're woofter. Well, why is your wife already got one black eye?

right these are the categories of hidden homosexuals that's crazy the middle-aged man unmarried who has an unnaturally strong affection for his mother two the man who has a consuming interest in youth right he is ready to give all his spare time to working and talking with boys and youth teachers yeah i mean that's pedophiles isn't it yeah but i guess that's at this point i guess a point is LGBT isn't it pedophiles are included in the act no at this point it's it's H They're all having sex There's no other terms

No, I know It's just hate If you're not having sex with a woman You're a homo It's the homo community The homo community They don't even know lesbians exist at this point Well yeah

And I'm still on the fence to be honest But the HOMO community Includes PEDAFARS is my point Number three The Crawler Right The humble man The man who is always saying

He's nothing And everybody else is marvellous The man with a fixed And meaningless smile on his face A Prime Susp What's that? What's the crawler? I don't understand the crawler.

Who's a crawler? Is that someone who's just basically... Is it being humble? Just basically like blends into the background and is not... What's someone saying, I'm nothing, you're marvellous. Are you gay? Is it or is it asexual? No, definitely not that.

Number four, the fussy dressed. When one, two or three button jackets are in, he is the first to wear them. His shirts are detergent bright. His tie has the latest knot. And he's always just so. And he can never pass a mirror or a shop window without a sly glance at himself. He's always wearing the latest fashions. That is gay.

That is gay. To be fair, they've got you there. Right. So the vassal scandal. Unbelievable. Insane. But this undermines the Super Mac reputation for competence. And he sort of starts to turn the press against him.

Yeah. So how do you get the nickname Super Mac? So he's called Super Mac because a cartoonist drew him as Superman. Right. Debt with Eisenhower. Right. Super Mac. So it's just because he cleared up.

Suez basically and we need some like right he went on to get the nickname the warrus yeah because he looks like a war he doesn't look like a warrus yeah but walrus is i i feel like there's a lot of there's a cuck energy to the waris yeah yeah so about the fat man with his no turning his nose up at his wife like this yeah i guess the face is rather hoity tooty but the fucking giant fat ass oh oh that's very unseemly watching your wife get railboys oh my god that's very just throwing fish at him. Oh, that's a terrible, disgusting. So then we get to the first proper sex scandal in politics ever.

Oh, yeah, I guess so, yeah. Yeah, I mean, this is why this, you know, after this, you get the satire boom and the age of deference ends because he loses moral authority. Yeah, they're all just fucking and sucking. I turned out they're all gay, they're all cucks, the wives are all fucking each other. They're all crawlers.

Yeah, they're all hidden. obvious crawlers. So the Profumo affair. I mean, it's already quite a gay name. Very gay name. John Profumo is the Secretary of State for War and he meets 19-year-old Christine Keeler at a pool party in Buckinghamshire in 1961.

Christine Keeler is having intimate relations with both John Perfumo and Soviet delegate Eugene Ivanov. Has she been trafficked? She has been maybe trafficked by the Soviets. And a 19-year-old having sex with two different politicians. She's not just gone there on her own volition, is she? Well, Stephen Ward is the guy who introduces them,

and he then gets done for pimping. Right. But I bet Stephen Ward wasn't our idea of a pimp. No. I don't think he didn't have a phone coat. It's Stephen Wardy, baby. Yeah, he didn't have like a feather in his cat. He'll look after you, baby.

Hey, got me a sugar kid. Yeah. So anyway, now Keeler claims her relationships with Evenoven Profumo overlapped, but this was dismissed as unlikely now there's something to do with I couldn't quite remember it but basically MI5 were keeping tabs on Evenov because they were

trying to flip him oh right yeah to make a spy yeah and then they were going to when the affair started to become public they were like we can't be it's going to blow this whole thing wide open well they're going to use it as blackmail probably I don't really know it's all a bit it's all stinks a bit

but anyway perfumo lies to parliament in 63 denying in any in propriety with keeler but the tabloids disproved this I guess by what uh showing photos of him of him having a bit of the devil is he married oh I'm sure he's married what's the true scandal here then is it the age of the girl is it the fact that he lies in parliament right it's the cover up

it's always the cover up isn't it yeah it's why if you're just like an open paedophile yeah and it happens to this country manner in uh fucking harrow right here I'm sure yeah like um Anthony Wiener was an interesting one. Did you watch the Wiener documentary? No. Do you know about Anthony? I know about the dick pick.

Yeah, and so he's called Wiener and he sent lots of dick pick. But his position is that the only reason it became news is because he's called Wiener. Yeah, but he also, he came out and was quite open about it and he managed to ride the dick pick out, but then he couldn't stop sending dick pics.

Oh, he kept sending off him? He just, he can't stop. So during riding that whole thing out, he basically got out of the woods, he just sent them again. And the danger is, though, is if you ride them out, you then haven't had your punishment and you think you can just send them.

He absolutely loves sending dick pics. Do you guys send dick pics? I don't send dick pics. Absolutely not. I'm married. You're not saying... No one's sending dickpicks to their wife. Last thing they want.

Why you send me that? Come on. I don't want to even see it in the flesh. We do it with the lights off. We've been married for seven years. No man is sending a dickpicks to his wife. And if he is, then it's how to spot a homo category five. He's a crawler.

He's a crawler. hidden homoes are selling dickpicks to their wife that's that's gay as shit selling dick pics to your own wife make an eye contact with your wife's pretty fucking that's gay pretty hidden homo that's number six I think we should I think we should extend this list how to spot homo nowadays how many bins you have right I think you've got more than five bins you're gay recycling yeah like if you're separating recycling the straightest thing is that you have one bin yeah everything in one bin uh when you finish with like a teller jar uh scraping it out It goes in the bin.

No, it should be you fuck it in the bin and say, fuck off. Yeah. Not in recycling in the main bin. You get the... Everything's in the main bin. Half empty Nutella John. You go, fuck off. Smash it in there.

That's straight. No, but in the black bin outside. Yeah. Because using a small bin in the kitchen is gay. So everything, you use the big bin. Yeah. And you throw it from your bedroom window. So you stand up steady, fuck off.

And you chuck it in the big bin. You don't scratch your plates. You chuck the whole plate in there. Actually, do you know what? You don't have a bin. you have a skip any more than anything less than the skip so basically if your wife's not doing housework and you have to do it it everything goes in the skip yeah that's sort of my dad's like my dad uh he throws he throws passports away he genuinely he's like because he just he doesn't like any mess

so he'll just scrape it all into the bin i don't mind mess but i hate cleaning up so i'm like route one sam allen dice in everything in the skip yeah everything under the carpet yeah scrape everything under the carpet whatever it is yeah even if it's like Even if it's like a half full tub of hummus, end up skip, fuck it, done. I'm bored. I'm bored of having to scrape the job. Yeah, I'm not washing out.

I'm not a fucking crawler. I'm not a crawler. I'm a straight man. Homo's clean their recycling. It's gay. What else is gay nowadays? Well, what isn't? We're wearing a helmet on a bike, maybe.

Yeah, I do do that. That's pretty gay. I guess that's gay. Maybe I'm gay. I've got children. I can't have my head paved in. Yeah, still gay, though. It is quite gay, you're right.

Having children was gay, I suppose. Also, you're, I think one of the gayest things about you is you're quite a committed father as well. Yes, I am. You are often trying to work out with your wife, like, how to divvy up childcare. Yeah. Which is quite homosexual. Yeah, it is. Because a real man wouldn't speak to his kids until they're 18.

Well, a real man would have put his kids in the skip. Right. Whenever they're crying, get in the skip. First dirty nappy, that old baby goes in the bin. Right, I can't be asked to dealing with that Do your granddad change an appie? No, he put the entire baby in the skip As soon as the baby did a poo.

Right, this one's broken. Right, no, it's pooing in the skip. Sorry, when are you going to have a baby that doesn't poo, please? I will not carry on this line until you can be legitimate air, which is one that doesn't poo. Like a girl one.

Yeah, yeah, girls don't poo. This girl one's broken, it's pooing. This girl one's a bloke. Yeah, anyway. Stephen Ward shoots himself on the final day of his trial which I do think makes you look guilty Yeah

Well we can go one or two ways It can be like oh we went too hard on him I don't think it's that There's more I think it's the same where if you ever Like kill someone like when they kill bin Laden They then take his hard drive Which makes everyone think oh was he a peter Do you know what I mean

If you get shot if you get assassinated And then they're like and we also took his hard drive Yeah but don't you also feel like Sometimes people kill themselves it makes people feel sorry for them right so like if there's lots of public pressure yeah that's why when you know you're going to be broken up with or anything like this you'd threaten suicide because part of you would be like that'll show them yeah you know i think you have fantasies of like whenever somebody's wronged you you're like if i killed myself you'd feel

awful but i think threatening suicide is gay i think the straight thing to do is to just do it no threat bud dwyer you've seen buddwyer this is the straightest man this is the straightest man who's ever lived Bud Dwyer is an American congressman in maybe the 70s or the 80s He just, I think he's about to be done For maybe embezzlement or something Right He calls a press conference

And just shoots himself on TV Really? Yeah, you can see it on YouTube He gets it He puts a massive revolver out of a paper bag And just fuck it At mouth? Yeah, mouth, yeah

Bloody hell Yeah, that's straight as hell That's the straightest thing to do Call a press conference And you just do it That's the best post match At her conference Yeah

Anyway, so the profumo affair basically contributes to the fall of this government because public trust goes. It's the kind of like seedy Tories. Yeah, it's party gate of its time, basically. But now that's how Prime Ministers leave office. That's like du rigour. Yeah, of course.

It's horses for courses, right? Public trust. This is the first time that the chippy populace start of going, you know what? They don't fuck, they're hypocrites. And it's arguably sort of the beginning of the 60s, right? Yeah. because he's all butt stuff

he gets undone by butt stuff so the perfumo says even more kills himself perfumo go to jail no does he get oh does he get some keeler gets done

keeler goes to jail but I think perfumo gets almost protected and he claims it was entrapment and then maybe he gets off right so perfumo the establishment kind of come around perfumo which is probably what contributes to the air of like a cover up but sorry it's interesting that like there's another

premiership that ends in crisis, but is also simultaneously they're so ill that they have to go anyway. Yeah, so how Macmillan resigns is, you know, problems with this prostate, which is the cuck's burden. Yeah. Is that you're never coming. You know how you're meant

like apparently coming a lot? It's good for your prostate. Right. So his is enlarged because it's furious. It's furiously angry. Because he's never come. So he's just got the biggest prostate owns ever had. It's like this fucking watermelon. I mean, I have struggled with like large prostate sometimes. Right.

Yeah. If I go too hard at a spin class and I piss blood ones. Really? Yeah. But you're coming regular. Are you regular? Regular movements?

I'm fairly regular movements, yeah. Fibrous diet? Fibery, fairly fibrous diet. My God, my wife's fibrous. Fruit and fibre. That's me and being my wife. Morning movement. Does that mean a lot of monks have prostate cancer?

In the same way that cabbies have a lower instance of Alzheimer's because the knowledge? Because the knowledge. and apparently dementia is the same muscle that you use for navigation so not using Google Maps is good if you want to avoid dementia. So there's a lower instance of dementia amongst cabies.

I imagine there's a higher incidence of prostate cancer amongst monks. Right, yeah. Because there's never jacking it. The monk's burden. Although maybe if you open the seal, maybe if you never wank, you're fine. It gets all like dusty and...

But if you open it and then you don't keep moving stuff through. If you never wank, it's like a time capsule. In a way? just opens a hundred years later and you find a gollywog in there or something. Anyway, Macmillan,

the cuck, has a big prostate. He's also urged to resign post-profumo. But he goes to Tory party conference and he's still meant, he's meant to turn up. And then he doesn't. He sends a doctor's note to his deputy,

who's Douglas Hume. And he says, I got, my prostate is fucking massive because I've not, I've texted my wife. for 30 years. Yeah.

And so he sort of just kind of fades into the background, like fades into the hedge, Homer Simpson. Yeah. And then the party conference becomes a leadership bid, like live in front of everyone. Really? Yeah, they're like, suddenly they're like, okay, well, now we've got to decide who's next.

Right. He basically resigns at the conference. And he went on to be the longest living prime minister. And when did he die? 92. Oh, he died 92, 86. Yeah. Yeah.

He pulled the strings. But we need to talk about the satire stuff, right? yeah we do so yeah this is kind of like the ultimate cuckdom but this is kind of the lineage that i guess calling the prime minister of cut yeah and the kind of beginning of modern british comedy the kind of move away from music hall and the kind of vaudeville towards alternative comedy uh topical stuff fucking peter cook dudley more the goons the goon show yeah which is kind of a precursor to monte python all of the kind of things that would we would know as british comedy sort of start in this period

modern British comedy starts basically here and supposedly Macmillan goes to this show Oh I've had to a laugh Yeah I like a laugh Should see what my wife's been doing He goes to beyond the fringe in the West End

Beyond the Fring is Peter Cook Dudley Moore Right And then they see him in the audience Yeah And they just start mocking him Yeah But this is the first time That people are like having a go at the Prime Minister

And like slagging him off to his face Yeah and I guess And this is during while he's Prime Minister So this is literally the end of deference Yeah, this is the end of deference Yeah, it's maybe the first crowdwork clip Type thing Yeah

Audience member gets destroyed Prime Minister destroyed Prime Minister destroyed by It's also like fringe Like group But it's also the idea that it's vicious satire It's probably going You're a walrus

You're like a walrus But you know No one had ever said anything like that So it was fucking To the Prime Minister Yeah Yeah And that would be a great clip

That would be an amazing clip If they had reels back then Yeah That would be fucking amazing. Prime Minister in the Crowe. Starma got ruined at a fucking at the comedy store or something. Yeah, it went to the gong show. Yeah, yeah.

So, um... And that was the year Ian Heslop was born as well. Is it? Wow. There you go. Have I got news for you? The seeds of... The satire boom that we're now living through.

When have I got news for you actually start? 16.54. 16. It's the restoration, is that? Yeah. Anyway, listen, we need, we need to wrap up. We need to wrap up. McMillan's prostate.

Caves in. It's a hot air balloon. It's a hot air balloon at this point. He sort of takes off, floats into the sky. And he fades away like all great cuts. Wins have changed. Yeah. Anyway, let's finally wrap up McMillan's legacy.

So what do we think? So obviously it was a something period that... The land of lost contents, what they call it. Oh, that's something... It was a period of kind of domestic luxury. White goods. White goods. Consumer boom.

Black Friday. Everything's kind of on the up. It's reaching to the... 60s into a kind of seemingly quite rare boom period post-war. But this is the straddle between the stuffy 50s and the groovy butt stuff 60s. He managed to decolonise Africa without getting militarily involved, which I guess. That's a pro. He kind of dismantles empire.

It's the peak of pro-war sort of British prosperity. However, the kind of sex scandals kind of tar the conservative moral leadership. And he's not remembered as a great Prime Minister, I guess, because of the cuckoldry, because of the way he left office. Yeah. Even though he was relatively competent and actually like a quietly,

quite progressive conservative. But he's a very comforting, for British listeners' viewers, he's a very comforting prime minister. Yeah. It's kind of what a prime minister should look like. The classy cuck. Yeah.

Against the upstart virile American president. That's our image of ourselves. Yeah. That's who I think I am. So I guess, yeah, I don't know where he'd rank him. at the moment. Definitely high,

I think probably... He's better than Eden. Better than Eden. I say probably better than Churchill. He did a better term than Churchill. So probably second to Attlee, I'd imagine. At the moment.

But again, he's not, he's not that transformative. And I suppose the country changes so much, but how much of that is like, is him doing that? No, his forces beyond him. Yeah. It's basically, because of this new boom

and like people having more money, there's a cultural explosion. Yeah. Because you can now go out and see things. Yeah. The teenage, teenagers as the concept is growing. Teen, Teens is now an economic group. Hot teens are now an economic group. Hot young teens in your area. Girls got wild starts. Yeah. So phone boxes are now starting to be used as kind of porn booths. Yeah. Anyway, Macmillan fades away because his knob caves in. Yeah. And next episode. Maybe our most challenging episode yet. Certainly our most long awaited. Yeah. It's the last of the old boys. The truss before trust. Yeah.

A 364-day premiership, which includes, as perhaps his only highlight, a failed kidnapping. So probably the least famous Prime Minister, the least talked about one. No one will probably know about this guy, but we're going to do a whole fucking episode on him somehow. We're going to scrape the barrel with this one. This is the ultimate scraping barrel.

The trolley dash. Goodbye. Hello, it's Andrew Harrison here. Every child deserves the best start in life, but not every child gets it. From health to happiness, education to opportunity, the early years shape everything. Where you're born and your family's resources can set the stage for success or struggle. And by the age of five, some kids arrive at school, curious and ready, while others are already behind. So how can we make sure all children get the start they deserve? The educationalists and psychologists at the University of Leeds are hard at work on this,

and they talk about what they've discovered in the latest edition of How to Fix, the brand new podcast, which Podmasters is proud to make in partnership with the University of Leeds, my old alma mater. In every edition of How to Fix, we meet Leeds people who are taking ideas from the lab to the street to make this world a better place and digging deep into huge problems, from decarbonisation and clean air to fighting cancer. It's a fascinating listen. So how do we make sure every child gets the best possible start in life?
