Too Many People Looked To Me In

I Inherited A Sick Economy And Passed On A Sound One. But One Abiding Regret For Me Is That, In Between, I Did Not Have The Resources To Put In Place The Educational And Social Changes About Which I Cared To Much; I Made Only A Beginning, And It Was Not Enough.

Of Course There Are Regrets. I Shall Regret Always That I Found My Own Authentic Voice In Politics. I Was Too Conservative, Too Conventional. Too Safe, Too Often. Too Defensive. Too Reactive. Later, Too Often On The Back Foot.

You Don't Forget Crises And Neither Does The Queen.

I Think The Majority Of The British People Are Still Sanguine About The Need For War.

I'm Very Proud Of What My Parents Achieved And What They Stood For. They Didn't Have Much, But In Many Ways They Were Richer Than Most.
