The Crooked Road of Harold Wilson

When Harold Wilson at last finds his squalid place in the history books, he will go down as the man who did more to debase the standards of British public life than any other prime minister of the present century or the last.

There are some who will claim that bad eminence for Lloyd George, but although Lloyd George had political vices as gross as a mountain, he still stood for something and, at least in his earlier years, he was not afraid to face public clamor.
