I can see little difference.

Your concept of one nation Toryism hardly survived the First World War. These years are define by union troubles, ironic considering how much time and effort Heath took to weld them to his ideas of consensus and gradual reform. I have not the least idea what William Hague has to do with this. His Yorkshire brogue grates on me, but at least it’s more authentic than Heath as it is spoken.Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-28959110831016751502010-10-21T16:57:10.924-07:002010-10-21T16:57:10.924-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Fletch's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402507296202065300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-40378875427811506142010-10-21T16:55:03.947-07:002010-10-21T16:55:03.947-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Fletch's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402507296202065300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-57134304185650664372010-10-21T16:53:33.183-07:002010-10-21T16:53:33.183-07:00Adam - I had the dubious privilege of attending Ro...Adam - I had the dubious privilege of attending Roxy Music's first public performance.
