Lord Lamont Dinner

Last night we held a fundraising dinner with Lord Lamont of Lerwick.

Excellent evening that coincided with the publication of a report (Whatever happened to the golden legacy?) that says that the success of the economy today is only because of the Conservative Government of the early and mid 90’s.

In fact the Evening Standard even called Lamont a “Brilliant Chancellor”. (Lamont paved the way for Britain’s boom.)

I think the time is coming when we Conservatives need to stop apologising about Governments of the past, as much of what was done was successful. After all people voted for it. As has now been demonstrated the events of Black Wednesday did not signify as high a level of economic mismanagement as some would try to spin.

This morning we were mopping up the final bits of delivery before we change to pre election activities next week.

We quite agree Norman Lamont was an excellant Chancellor.

We wonder what he would think about the fact that the Kingston & Surbiton Conservative Association has spent the entire £250,000 proceeds from the sale of his old Association HQ at Birkenhead House?
