Harold Wilson’s affair and how we misread leaders

Harold Wilson’s affair and how we misread leaders

Download Right click and do "save link as"

In his last term as Prime Minister, Harold Wilson was seen as old, paranoid and ineffective… yet now we discover he was lively enough to be having an affair. This suggests the caricature might be wrong. What if Wilson was livelier politically too? And what if we choose to see other leaders as stereotypes which do not present anything like the full picture?
