Edward Heath

So old Ted's dead. And of course, the tributes are pouring in. He was, of course, considered amongst the absolute worst of the Tory party before Thatcher, but let's forget that. He was, again, a friend of Mao Tse Tung, Deng Xiaoping, and an apologist for the Tiannaman Square massacre, but don't mention that. Did you know he was good at yachting? He liked music? And he wasn't as bad as Thatcher. So that's OK, then.
And, of course, there was a newspaper headline, reprinted in Private Eye, and available in one of their compilations of amusing newspaper cuttings. Responding to hypocrisy amongst MPs regarding homosexuality, and the status of Hampstead Heath, North London, as a gay cruising ground, the headline read "Gay group claim many MPs use Heath for sex". Probably the best way to remember him...
