  • Summary

  • Gill & Pete dive into the history and "quirks" of British Politics and without pledging any (obvious) allegiance they delve into how Parliament was born and how it developed all its crazy idiosyncrasies. They discuss, black rod, the division bell, where to hang your sword and then cross the pond for some drunken late-night pizza hunts. Also we learn how not to fake your own death and that its quite a good thing to remember if your country is at war or not.
