Norman Atkinson was quite right when he said that the statement by Gunter that Mr. “ilson's figure of 2% unemploy ment as being acceptable was after reéployment "reflects on Mr, Wilson's integrity." Frank Cousins was right when he said that had the T.U.C. and Labour Party conference known that this figure meant after redeployment, these two meetings would not have supported the Government's economi: policies, It must be said quite bluntly: Harold Wilson lied, and deliberately deceived the movement in order to get votes on record for his policies. He has lied all along to the movement over the incomes policy, Vietnam, relations with the U.S., etc., but this is not because he is dishonest by nature: it is because when one chooses right wing policies, one has to give up 2ll moral integrity.
