The NO NO NO speach ( quote is my signature) was indeed the breaking point for the europhiles, Heath refered to her after it as a 'narrow little nationalist' but i think that is better than being an overweight europhile any day.

She should have booted him out the very moment he was of no further use - politically speaking the man was not to be trusted.

I would not wish to be in the company of a europhile.

Glad that Lady Thatcher did such a good job of upsetting europhile Heath - I can think of few more worthwhile activities .

What he said was irrelevant - he was quite understandably largely despised among most of the Conservative Party membership.

At the time of his passing he had only two main supporters left - the EU and the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

The nation and the Conservative Party had long before then disowned him.

Who?

When did they speak publicly praising Heath?

Apart from one or two europhiles (who should not be in the Conservative Party) most of the membership of the Conservative Party hated europhile Heath.
