I will say one thing in Heseltine's favour; he was a very witty speaker and knew how to capture an audience. Two examples spring to mind:
In 1976/7 Margaret Thatcher tabled a motion of no confidence in the minority Labour government of Jim Callaghan. They were saved because the tiny number of Liberals decided to back the PM. Heseltine remarked in the House, directing his scorn to the Liberals, "I have often heard of rats leaving sinking ships but this is the first time I have heard of mice joining one!"
Another was around the time of the 1997 election. Speaking to a rally he tore into the proposals of the then shadow chancellor, Gordon Brown. He ended up by saying, "This is not Brown, it's a load of Balls".

Eddie is correct: there has been no solution as yet to the position of the UK within Europe. I believe the expression is something to do with cans being kicked along roads. As some point someone will have to pick up the can and carry it.
And of course jackdaw is correct: have we all forgotten how Heseltinevwss the darling of the Tory party conference with his rousing, witty speeches.

Eddie is correct?
Come of it, ichi. You can have no more understanding of that garbled 'stream of words' than Eddie has.
Peter Pedant is the only poster who could possibly 'crack the code'.
I've had a bash at the first part and I've got news for you, Eddie and all your socialist friends.
Most people, when they reach the maturity of say a four or five year old come to the realisation that we can't have everything we want, or something just because someone else has it.
I'm given to understand that Peter Crouch has a 'special relationship' with his wife but that doesn't entitle me to one, does it?
