His behaviour to his mother, Queen Mary, is notoriously bad and was instigated by Mrs. Simpson. His professions of great concern for the unemployed which were used by his clique of cronies, headed by Esmond Harmsworth, as the weapon to upset the Government were rather insincere when compared with the facts. He gave...
