Description"See! I was right!" is in a joint speech bubble, spoken by both Harold Wilson and an unidentified man; both are pointing to different pages inside a huge book labelled "February 10, 1970, HM Government White Paper on Joining the Common Market"; Wilson carries a placard saying "Europe or bust!" and the other man has a placard saying "No to the E.E.C!".

News: 9 Feb: The publication of the Government White Paper on the cost of British entry to the Common Market was expected to cause a major parliamentary battle which would cut across party lines. Wilson has repeatedly emphasised that Britain will not enter the EEC if the price is too high.
