You are quite correct I should have added "and their loyal retinue"

NitroX

I did write

"The only thing for which we may be caupable is in electing that spineless puppet of the trades unions Wilson, who allowed himself to be suckered by the Canadian President, into the no minority rule clause to independence negotiatons with Smith that led to UDI."

The questioner had said "This mess"

I quite agree that The Wilson government were a shower of shit, however given their politics we were fortunate that Britain itself was not handed over to the USSR as was.
