Wilson 'had Alzheimer's when PM' [View All]

[emad]

An analysis of former Prime Minister Harold Wilson's speech patterns suggests he may have had early Alzheimer's disease in office.

A University of Southampton expert examined Wilson's changing use of language while at the dispatch box.

The findings point to a possible decline in his mental function during his final months in office.

Researcher Dr Peter Garrard suggests this may have contributed to Wilson's decision to resign in April 1976.

The motives behind Wilson's resignation, which came as a surprise to most people, have long been a source of controversy.

"motives behind Wilson's resignation...a source of controversy"

I should say. The official papers about Wilson's resignation are classified.

Barrie Penrose's 2006 BBC documentary hinted at some of the shenanigans:

Wilson may have been a KGB spook and in cahoots with George Herbert Bush viz UK military coup attempts to put the daftass Queen Mum on the throne as Queen Regent.

Wilson also shagged an Irish half-sister of traitor Guy Burgess whose own political activities would have made IRA Provos blush.

And as for Marcia Falkender, her five year fling with Bush Sr is also 'classified' information.
