Today was the 30th anniversary of the vote of no confidence in the 1974-79 UK Labour government. Cue tonight's TV: lots of old current affairs footage and me going into a mental timewarp back-flip.
There has been a payoff for being bored out of my brains with politics by my parents when I was a nipper. It means that if I concentrate really hard then I can remember Harold Wilson resigning, Carter becoming President of the U.S and watching the Bay City Rollers sing BYE BYE BABY on Top of The Pops (mmm, maybe that last one wasn't too political).
