It'll Be Alright In The Nineties - S1 E25 - 'My Nan Voted for Father Christmas' (British Politics in the 90s)

IBAITN is getting serious (relatively speaking) in this episode, as we take a stroll down the corridors of power for a look at British politics in the 90s.

We discuss a few key talking points of the decade in politics, from personal recollections from Stu's school days ('fence-building diplomacy' anyone?) to more general thoughts on how popular culture and the media dealt with the goings-on at Westminster and out in the constituencies.

Also this time: standup comics, Badgerline bus sightings, school turf wars, chilli in Stu's eye, and much, much more...
