Mark why did you not ask Sir John if he was passionate enough about his beliefs for post Brexit Britain to leave the Tories and join Reform and if not why not!
Young'uns complaining about privatisations and Thatcher have no idea what it was like living in a country where getting a telephone meant going on a waiting list for a year or so. As late as 1980, we moved to a new home and ordered a telephone, British Telecom sent us a catalogue of different styles and we chose one. When the engineer arrived after our long wait, he started installing an ugly mustard coloured standard phone and when my mum said that wasn't the one we ordered he replied, "you get what's on my van. I can get one of them you ordered. You've got no chance." and that was that. Phones were still hardwired in. You had to order an answering machine from BT as well if you wanted one, and even if you wanted a longer cord on the phone it had to be installed by them. A friend of a friend was it turned out a BT engineer and he came and put in a long cord on the quiet so we could take the phone out into the hall for privacy. It was the dark ages as far as communications were concerned.
@@ianhampton1208 Well, there's good and bad. The days of somebody not being where you said you'd meet them and not being able to contact them are a thing of the past at least, and that's good. I have a non-smart mobile. I think that's the happy medium.
One of the few in list of best Prime Ministers we never had. A brilliantly insightful man. You can't run a country on the never never. It has to be resilient and to do that or has to do without the nice to haves and prioritise the must haves. And a 'nice to have' is unrestrained, feel good compassion for all and sundry from all over the world; trying to solve 'cosmic injustices' (as the American free market economist Thomas Sowel calls them.)
Wonder if he can sing the Welsh National Anthem. PS Privatization of the Energy and Railway Industries have worked out well. Now all are owned by foreign Owners with Cayman Island Bank Accounts. We still have the most expensive Rail fares in Europe, and Energy Bills inc Water are a rip off.
Really? Name one thing he was wrong about? The current mess was created by the Globalists who insisted on the Prank-demic and the Lockdown and now high taxation in the subsequent recession. Promoting Eco-Lunacy and of course the BEUro-cratic anti-democratic systems.

@Desmond so who do you listen to and vote for?
cant grow your own food when building on everything to house 500,000 a year
Respect sir John redwood
Init fam! Big up da main man John Redwood blud!
Respect for this scrote?! Redwood is the prime example of a career politician devoid of principles or anything original or interesting to say.
Has he learnt the Welsh National anthem yet.
About time he stepped down. He has achieved nothing and no-one listens to him.
Because Redwood has nothing of interest or originality to say on anything. This man is the blandest of the bland.
Deadwood
He is the anchor man of his time. I do feel there should be a “W” in there somewhere.

Or as some of us call it the good old days, where a phone didn't run your life.
