I share your assessment of Harold Wilson, considering him as - well,

Go on!, he's a politician they have armour plated hides!, gotta be

Interesting difference between them two ,For all his faults Harold
Wilson resisted the calls from the USA to commit British forces to
fight in their scrap with North Vietnam. TB couldn't have been more
eager.

Wilson also resigned earlier than expected, not after years of pressure
from his deputy.


Probably due to oncoming ill-health.

Not because he was a KGB agent who was going to be overthrown in a
revolution led by Mountbatten? Or something.
