Poster featuring Harold Wilson's tobacco pipe with red borders
OSP script: By Golly He Does You Good poster, 1966
By the 1966 general election, Wilson's persona was so well established, that an image of his pipe replaced his photograph. Using a phrase widely known in popular culture from a television beer advertisement, under his leadership Labour secured a handsome majority. However economic difficulties were to continue to trouble his government.
