When I first saw the reference to "Enoch Power" I thought *Twinkle* had recorded the track, and that her parents might have been GB75ers or suchlike (they might have been anyway, of course). Certainly bizarre to imagine Millie Small singing such a thing (incidentally I just got hold of the Radio Times which lists the Any Questions? programme in 1963 where Sir Gerald Nabarro, another notorious West Midlands Tory MP, used the N-word).

Twinkle's social background (10 years previously she'd have been a debutante) is the only thing that matters about her; it lifts "Terry" from an ordinary piece of pop music to a wonderfully evocative document of social flux, a period when anything seemed possible caught permanently in time. This was why Churchill had to die when he did. We're all still living through the aftereffects in one sense; I just wish we were living through them in the other, more important and valuable sense.
