From Political Betting:

Edward Heath was a fine man. I had the chance to meet him on several occasions the first being in 1955 has a young Conservative party volunteer during the general election that year and I always found him to be an excellent and honorable man. His 1970 election victory was in part because of his principals and his ability to connect with the middle class. It is sad that his primerships were overshadowed by the problems thats faced Britian during the 1970’s, endless powercuts,the beginning of the troubles in Northern Ireland a three-day working week, a pay freeze, all against the background of the oil crisis.

From Cash 4 Cadavers:

Sir Edward Heath, the conservative British prime minister from 1970-1974, has died at the age of 89. Edward is peculiar because of his apparently desire to be disliked; he scowled constantly, would give interviewers The Silent Treatment, and never married because “a lot of politicians seem to regret they’ve got wives.” Once Margaret Thatcher seized party leadership from him in 1975, he decided to squander the rest of his legislative years “sniping ineffectively” at her. Gotta respect the dedication to his craft.
