Jenkins was a truly awful specimen. Saw everyone as beneath him, everything had to be on his terms, he always had to be right and would put you down continually until you were wrong, even if you weren't wrong. A total carpetbagger who did whatever was required to try and keep himself relevant, even if that meant swapping parties and standing as a candidate in somewhere he couldn't even point out on a map. What connections could someone like this possibly have to the likes of Warrington and Hillhead? Harold Wilson didn't rate him much either despite having him in Cabinet.

Sorry, there is no collection. This was a one off recorded for me at my request by my Uncle Harold on the tape recorder shewn in the video which was his. Uncle Harold passed away on August 9th 1971. Years later his sister passed his tape recorder and tapes on to me.

Standard polyester magnetic recording tape. I inherited two tape recorders and a library of recorded tapes from my late Uncle Harold. His musical tastes and mine don't quite match so I often erase his recordings that I don't want to keep and replace them with a recording of my own. Recordings made by him are as good as the day they were made and furthermore if I erase and make a new recording on the tape it's as good as new even though the tapes are getting on for 60 years old. Uncle Harold died in August 1971. It's a very durable technology. My uncle's tapes have well outlived him and will probably outlive me too. He used to get most of his tapes from a mail order company called "Tele Tape" (distributed by Tape Music Ltd, 11 Redvers Road, London N22) which has long ceased to exist.

Just a correction of the description, Leonard James Callaghan, Baron Callaghan of Cardiff was the one who ended the Post-War consensus or at least stated so publicly. Watch his 1976 Labour Party Conference Speech.
@oldelephantstew Ай бұрын
The point that you make is a good one but nevertheless I think that it's generally accepted that '79 was a watershed in British Politics which set the agenda for politics right up to the present time only comparable with 1945 which to me is history as it's before my time. The difference between Labour and Conservative then was quite stark in a way that is not so now. It will make little difference whether Starmak or Sumer becomes prime minister after the election that is about to be as neither of the parties or the men who lead them stand for anything anymore. I have come to agree with Galloway who describes them as "two cheeks of the same a*rse".
@johnnotrealname8168 Ай бұрын
@@oldelephantstew Well granted they were different, Labour was still wedded to the unions and working with them as being sufficient to end all their problems instead of curtailing the power of the unions and increasing interest rates which worked although with huge unemployment consequences. The rest I somewhat agree with. The current (03.07.24) government is the most progressive in history and economically is not exactly right-wing with massive spending grants (Not that they are any good by the way.).

--Michael Cockerell: I know he's retired and infirm, but I think bringing Jeremy Thorpe to deliver his famous zinger about Macmillan's character will be a good way to wrap things up. --Producer: Um...are you sure we want Jeremy Thorpe dunking on someone's character? --Cockerell: Well, his voice isn't what it used to be, but give me one reason why we shouldn't have Jeremy on.

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

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

Unfortunately, the comparison doesn't quite fit. MacMillan was under 70 when he retired.
