...was of him appearing in a Cheese advert in the 1980's when I was little. Whenever this advert came on my very right-wing parents used to say all sorts of rude things about him!
Heath was despised by the right for his rampant Europhilia, for his perceived "U-turn" and his failures when taking on the Unions. Maybe it's just me but whenever I have heard people speaking of Ted heath they always have him down as one of the worst, if not the worst prime minister of the 20th Century.
His stance against Fascism, most noticeable in the Oxford by-election was indeed to be admired but that has been inevitably been overshadowed by his time as Prime Minister. He did do some good but I'm afraid I do think that history will not be kind to the man they called "Grocer" heath.
