The downside of the universal franchise

In this episode we learn about the downside of the universal franchise and the downside of being a husband. A revolutionary new technology gets shown off in a department store while a revolutionary old technology gets a tasteful new home. We learn about the hidden dangers of cricket. The Europeans take on the Americans while the Americans take on Darwin. Neither go well. Bavarians decide that the best way to preserve freedom is to end it – at least in Hitler’s case. And Arabs decide that the best way to preserve an Arab Palestine is “sulky obstruction”. Meanwhile we learn about the number of London buses and a very, very big fraud.
