January 1990: Employment Secretary Michael Howard clashes with Shadow Employment Secretary Tony Blair in the Employment Bill debate on closed shop. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_shop
Such an opinion isn't even political, fellow conservative (and his junior minister) Ann Widecombe once said about Howard that "there is something of the night about him".
I'm sorry, but having watched Michael Howard in that infamous interview with Paxman there is no way anyone could trust him to lead the country. The second a politician shows just how sneaky and vulgar they really are is the beginning of the end as they lose the trust of the people.
does anyone else find politics so depressing. politicians nowadays remind me of school children. more interested in makeing everyone else look bad than making themselves better.
