Podcast 163 - The Old Gang - The powers and purpose of the privy council
About this episode
The episode discusses the role of the Privy Council in the UK's unwritten constitution and its implications for class rule.
The UK's famously unwritten constitution means the country is effectively governed by the Privy Council and its executive committee in the Cabinet, composed of what John Mclean called 'The Old Gang' in his open letter to Lenin in 1921. Its longevity is testament to the continuities of class rule in this country.
