Good innings for the old boy.

I always remember his 'squeeze the rich till the pips squeak' speech.

1978 ...I think.

I couldn't imagine anyone from Tory Blair's era saying such a thing. ::)

He denied ever saying it though.  :-\
He held the record as Britains worst ever chancellor for a long time, until Gordon Brown came along and challenged him for the title.
