I CANNOT understand why some people are praising the late Tory MP and PM Edward Heath.
He tricked the population, the Labour Party and the TUC (helped by Roy Jenkins) into voting for the UK joining the EEC.
Heath acted almost like a traitor - he is responsible for the destruction of the UK fishing industry and much of our current shambles with the EU.
He was a good sailor, piano player and music conductor, but that is all.
