Post removed because I was a bit unkind about Michael Foot. And it was a Ted Heath post. One of the old school. DL

I always thought Ted Heath was one of the most obnoxious politicians ever. Just because he has passed away I don't change my view of him.
After the Tianemen Square massacre he was full of support for the Chinese and said they were right to crush the student protest.
He was one of the most anti-democratic PMs we've ever had. He was also fully in favour of a United States of Europe with total power in the hands of the few (just like his beloved China).
Whenever he met someone with differing views to himself he tended to just dismiss them as irrelevent in a pompous manner.
There have also been numerous other unsavoury accusations about him which suggest that he was not the "old grandad" figure he sometimes presented.

He tried to crush the Unions & failed.
Maggie crushes the Unions and good Old Ted hates her with a vengance (allegedly ringing everybody in joyous mood when she's finally booted out).
He appeared to be a sexist **** to be honest.
No wonder he never married !
Don't forget the 3 day week and all that.
Oh - and he let Harold Wilson in - Tony Blair's Role model and mentor (it would seem).
Apart from that he was Great

He actually tried to curb the greed of the Unions which was dragging the country down at the time. They were holding the country to ransom.
It is true that he knew all about the eventual ambitions of the Europeans, ie to form a federated Europe, but he told us at the time of his referendum over Europe that it was only intended to be a trading community. He lied by omission of the truth.
Wilson was a slimy creep who was eventually forced to resign suddenly as PM without the reason being notified!
