“Everybody should have an equal chance – but they shouldn’t have a flying start.” — Harold Wilson
(Older Brits definitely should remember this name. Harold was the Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1964 to 1970, and then again from 1974 – 1796 oops 1976. As an American, I know him mainly from the Beatles song “Taxman”! This appears to be the first of his quotes to be used for a Cryptoquote, so we welcome Harold to the Cryptoquote Club today! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

He and Edward Heath, who succeeded him. It was a similar case to what happened with Muhammad Ali: they were set to see the bully Sonny Liston but he refused to see them. In the case of Wilson, apparently, they had to cut him loose because he’d become a bit sticky, according to John. Cheers
“1974 – 1796.” You put that in there just to make sure we were reading, UR? Yes, welcome the Rt Honourable Harold Wilson to the Cryp club!
I remember this tune, but it wasn’t a favorite with me; I hadn’t realized it was associated good ole Harold Wilson. I remember him; that’s how old we are.
I think that “Taxman” was one of the Beatles’ earlier protest songs, lwc. Since I was maybe 8 yrs old when it came out, I’m pretty sure I had no idea who “Mr. Wilson” was. The only Mr. Wilson I would’ve known back then was Dennis the Menace’s nextdoor neighbor! — YUR
LOL! I’ll have to correct that silly transposition, hal! — YUR

I hope this doesn’t land me on the bad side of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
