PCRS XIII - Sir Edward Heath
Many would expect me to be indifferent to Sir Edward Heath's death, given his rabid pro-Europeanism, statist economic policies and wicked anti-Americanism. Yet the truth is far different. Ted Heath was one of the greatest Englishman of our time. Two policies of his will stand out as the most far-sighted and far-reaching in Britain's glorious history. First he appointed Margaret Thatcher to his cabinet, as Education Secretary. Then he lost to her in a leadership election. No single decision has so improved our country's future.
