Harold Wilson | Labour Party | Common Market | This Week | 1974

[@dimsylsodium1]

It's amazing to hear a politician speak coherently without endless interruptions from the interviewer. As a viewer, all you have to do is sit back, listen attentively, and make up your own mind at the end. I much prefer this way of interviewing to today's world of the celebrity interviewer/journalist worrying about their own image and social media profile. From an historical point of view, I tend to think that the UK should have followed Norway's approach more closely when dealing with North Sea Oil revenues in the subsequent decades.

It's a pity Wilson didn't listen to Mr Powell.

[@Nai61a]

Why?

[@Jeremy-y1t]

@@Nai61a Powell was right to oppose the EEC.

[@Nai61a]

@Jeremy-y1t No. It brought enormous benefits to the UK, as people have begun to realise in the last couple of years.

[@Jeremy-y1t]
