Depends on which accounts you choose to believe. I tend to agree with those who have said that if he were, it'd have been inrefutably exposed long ago.
Yeah, that one.

As a true blue tory, where do you stand on Heath? He seems despised by his own party, mainly because he was pro European, yet I never thought he was that bad.
I have no strong feelings either way. I don't necessarily agree with some of what he did, but then I wasn't around in order to be able to fully understand the socio-economic climate under which he did them and why.
I liked him, simply because he had such a lousy relationship with Margaret Thatcher. They REALLY hated each other.
Interesting that a thread on surreal comedies should feature the Conservative party!
They used to be quite surreal, but nowadays they're as bland and tasteless as New Labour.

I suppose on that basis, I should hate him too.

That's loopy logic. I suppose you also think the Poll Tax and Clause 28 were good ideas simply because Attila the Hen had them?
Well... No. But. Erm. I forget what we were discussing, and am too lazy to scroll up. But ok - I wasn't really being serious anyway!
Regarding Spike Milligan, can I mention his short stories? Some of which were very good too.

Would that be Hamstead?
Quote: Aaron @ July 23 2008, 11:02 AM BSTGeneral consensus is that he was a "confirmed bachelor", much similar to Heath in many ways.
When I saw this I thought you meant Ledger.

As was his poetry, and didn't he do some ace kids stuff.
Q just wasn't his finest hour.

Nah. I'd barely heard the name before the sod killed himself. No 'celebrity' types ever come into my mind!
