The Nightclub Peril

In this episode – 1 February 1925 – we find that some people are in a bit of a tizzy over nightclubs. It turns out for the first and only time in history young people are staying up late to drink and dance. Luckily the London Public Morality Council is on the case. We also learn how America is seeking to corrupt the fine, upstanding if a bit dour denizens of Canada with “luxuries and attractions”. In the news its good news – of a kind – for Herbert Asquith and St Paul’s and Trotsky. But it’s bad news for me and the Irish potato. And what are we to make of London’s attempt at giving itself a motto and Britain’s exceptionally high rainfall?
