british coups
December 23rd, 2006
Now that I’m on the subject of movies anyway (I’ve been watching a lot since I have a Netflix subscription), I should also mention the British miniseries I watched last night and this morning. It’s called A Very British Coup and it is a somewhat old series, from 1988, about a socialist leader of the Labour Party who manages to get elected as prime minister. He immediately starts the nuclear disarmament of Britain and demands the removal of U.S. bases from British soil. This of course to the horror of the British military and intelligence establishment who immediately start working on a way to get rid of them. The result is a fairly dark image of the British intelligence community and a very interesting television series. Highly recommended to people who are interested in politics or espionage.
