Hello Arden.

I wasn't actually aware that Private Eye called former Labour Prime Minister Wilson Wislon.

Do you remember, Arden, how Private Eye sometimes used to call Lady Thatcher Hilda (her middle name) or Tina (which stood for the first initials of those famous words of hers: "There Is No Alternative")?
