Anyway, I was canvassing one Sunday afternoon in the run up to the 2005 General Election in Westbury Road. I knocked on a door & spoke to a man who wasn’t completely convinced by the Conservatives. ‘Why not?’ I asked. ‘Oh, I don’t know. Samuel Brittan would put it well...’ /2 — PolitiTweet.org

He was very pleasant about it (it may have helped that I’d recently read his excellent book ‘Capitalism with a Human Face’) and the Westbury Road resident was very amused by the situation. Was reminded of this on hearing the sad news that Samuel Brittan has died. /END — PolitiTweet.org
