...and would you have changed your vote back then if you knew that he liked the rent boys (allegedly).

and before you say 'It wouldn't have made a difference'. I am talking about your attitudes to homosexuality 40 years ago. not now.

I wasn't born then, but of course it would have made a difference! Who is going to vote for somebody knowing they liked rent boys ffs!?

I wouldn't even want a gay prime minister. Would you?

I was in the Commons the day that Heath became leader of the Tory Party. We were guests of another Conservative MP called, believe it or not, Tufton Beamish.
What a moniker to get landed with.

If heath was outed way back then...then that could've meant a Thatcher premiership taking on and winning against the miners back in the 1970's and preventing us ever joining the European Common Market.

I think that would have been too early for Thatcher and Willie Whitelaw would have been front runner.

Selwyn Lloyd was in the running.

Thatcher might never have been leader had Heath gone earlier, would you agree dunlaying?
