Had he really? I'd have bet on him staying the course; but I

his wimpy liberalism must have got on her nerves after a while. Oh
no, I take that back: he had to look after his wife, who had been
badly injured in the bombing. I confess I warmed to him a little
at
that point.

Yes, even the most dedicated Tebbit-hater felt that it showed that
he had at least one good point. Now, Howard, on the other hand
.....

Funny you should mention Howard, as I've been told that in private he
and his wife are the nicest people you could hope to meet: the
politics is apparently a great big Old Bailey hack performance. I
_do_ hate having my cherished illusions shattered!

Both true; the latter the more so as it set the tone for what was to
follow.
