Bernard Levin has strong views on lawyers, Harold Wilson and the spiritual condition of Western civilisation. He expresses all three with considerable force. In this conversation with Michael Parkinson, he talks about resisting the temptation to look back over 25 years of journalism, about his estimate of Harold Wilson's political character which he formed in the 1950s and has never revised, and about his central conviction that political solutions cannot solve non-political problems. He has been waiting 20 years for the Labour Party to split. He remains optimistic. He also talks about a month spent in India, about the poverty of Bombay and Delhi, and about something he saw in the faces of the poor there that he does not see in the streets of London. He is careful to say he does not find poverty beautiful. He finds something else entirely. Legendary talk show host Sir Michael Parkinson's official YouTube channel.
