Thank you Annete for another illumiiating piece. Now here's the thing. Learning lots more about Tricky Dicky than I ever knew sparked a thought about what I think is called comparative history. Imagine comparing and contrasting politics, policies, politicking, practice and personae of - in the Red (US, a fairly recent irony) corner Richard Millhouse Nixon, and in the (other) Red (UK) corner James Harold Wilson.
Thanks, Ken! 😂 By coincidence, Harold Wilson almost got a mention in the post, until I deleted him for being too random. Story about the time I turned round to seeing who was talking behind me, and it was him. 😂
