David Rose: ‘On the one hand, she has written for Pat Buchanan’s extreme right-wing journal, the American Conservative ….’ RR: I wonder if Rose has ever seen American Conservative? I hadn’t, so I looked at the on-line issue displayed in August and saw articles […]
[…] Hurd, now Minister for Northern Ireland. It would be interesting to know if this Round Table connection has anything to do with his promotion within the contemporary Conservative Party despite his role as Heath’s private secretary and apologist.
