Heffer was very good on Question time Thursday night and his biography of powell is superb.
Contrast his beahviour with the outburst against Powell by the ghsatly Harriet Harmon.
It is 40 years this weekend since the speach was made and I think it is good we are revisiting some of its arguments, for too long Powells views have just been dismissed just because he commited the crime of speaking his mind.
