50 Years Ago When Harold Wilson Was In Number 10..

...there was talk among the chattering classes of a military intervention to save the country.  Lord Mountbatten was mentioned by some as head of an interim administration.

Judging by the posts of a few here in AB, who appear to think our government is running the economy into a ditch, the intervention of a strong man/woman wouldn't be unwelcomed.

But who might it be?

Boris, of course. 🤣

[Canary42]

Liz Truss

A disaffected Royal might give the administration a veneer of respectability.  Can anyone think of one?

Bring back Maggie!

Fergie then.

I'm sure she'd dip a toe in the water if offered a suitable reward.

Donald Trump

If you want his majesty's forces to act on your behalf you'd have to select Charles. But since he'd see his roll as staying out of politics he'd have to name a proxy for himself.  Who do you think he might favour to make UK great again ?

Justin Welby's looking for a gig. Very flexible too we hear.

Rumours about the 70s candidate have since emerged.  How much truth, if any, in them we'll probably never know.

Welby has demonstrated he's a man of flawed judgement. He won't do.

The search continues.

Bring back Tony Blair🤣 *The Great Man*.🤣

Bloody hands, but that's rarely a drawback for those seeking high office.
