@exPremiers Sorry not to have replied earlier. Lord Attlee was very elderly then. He was introduced as " the man who gave independence to India ". As you probably know he'd served on the pre-war Simon's Commission. world government had long been one of his interests.
@Lea_EFC Fergie is a true Scot who are known to be " bonnie haters" . I smiled when the commentator said he'd come to watch both teams lose! Actually, I sat next to him at a dinner in London the year before he got his"K" and he was such a pleasant and nice man.
