Cameron even worse than The Grocer.

You are duly forgiven.

I humbly beg your forgiveness and that of all the posters on CUK. That's what you get for Wiki-ing the answers.

That's wot I do too.

Wrong!

It was because he abolished Retail Price Maintenance in 1964, which led inexorably to Tescopoly.

I don't think anyone had heard much of Saint Margaret in 1968/9 when the cartoon started in Private Eye.

Heath was called Grocer Heath by Private Eye purely because Thatch was a "Grocer's Daughter". No other reason.

Maggie Thatcher was the grocer's daughter. Ted Heath liked bobbing around in boats.

She was only the grocer's daughter............ ..... I don't know, dare I ????

Dave is just looking after the gravy train for failed MPs.

Is the source of this "official" rating just the rants of James Delingpole, or is there actually some kind of ranking that makes it official?

When I was at skool one of my teachers always advised me to read the exam questions very thoroughly, because the answer might just be hidden in the question. He was right you know.

Nice use of Godwin's Law at the bottom of the first page of comments.

What Hitler didn't manage to destroy, Attlee completed for him... The succession of corporatist governments that have followed have only furthered his achievements.

Someone actually takes the trouble to try and argue with that tool.

For the younger members of the congregation, Ted Heath was familiarly know as "Grocer Heath".

I can no longer remember why, but suspect that Private Eye very probably had sommat to do with it.

Yup.

Heath was persistently referred to as "The Grocer", or "Grocer Heath" by magazine Private Eye.

Godwin's Law!

As an undergraduate, Heath travelled widely in Europe.

His opposition to appeasement was nourished by his witnessing first-hand a Nuremberg Rally in 1937, where he met top Nazis Hermann Göring, Joseph Goebbels and Heinrich Himmler at an SS cocktail party.

He later described Himmler as "the most evil man I have ever met".[3]

In 1938 he visited Barcelona, then under attack from Spanish Nationalist forces during the Spanish Civil War.

In the summer of 1939 he again travelled across Germany, returning to England just before the declaration of war
