Harold Wilson's choice

Twice Labour Prime Minister between 1964 and 1976
Harold Wilson is remembered for his Government's
progressive and occasionally radical legislation including 
abortion, censorship, divorce, homosexuality,
immigration, membership of the European Community 
and especially the abolition of capital punishment.


I remember on my first visit to the Isles of Scilly
seeing him on St Mary's harbour quayside embarking
on one of the off-island trips.

He chose to retire to the Scillies and every time I go back for yet another holiday on those beautiful islands I think what a good choice he made.

To anyone who has not experienced this superb part of the UK - do go!

To anyone who wants to see a progressive and radical Party back in power - get involved in the Leadership contest, join us to restore the Party, help us get re-elected and see your beliefs put to work.
