OK, Matt, here's a question for you. What are the British the best at in the world? Ooh, eating fish and chips, drinking tea. Not what I was thinking of. Binge drinking, alcohol-related violence. Good, but no. Saying sorry all the time, even though we're not. It's true, but it's not what's on the card. I was thinking a good old great British scandal.
Oh, yes, I should have guessed. You really should have. British scandals come in all shapes and sizes. Some are about greed, some are about vanity, some are about... Sex. Yes, a lot of them, actually. But they're all, in the end, about outrage. Outrage at those who have more money, more influence. More palaces. Yes, more power than we can ever dream of. British scandals change everything. But do they really? Oh, interesting take. Thank you so much.
From Wondery, I'm Alice Levine. And I'm Matt Ford. And this is British Scandal, where each week we bring you the murkiest stories that ever happened on these funny little isles. We both love a good scandal, from phone hacking... To sexed-up dossiers. To incredibly stupid Russian spies. We're journeying back to some of the most outrageous events in recent times. And finding out whether they're quite what we thought they were.
