Sabrina agrees with me, and would like to see Tarzan get the reward as well, since he's the only one with a spouse here, and a spouse of 30 years at that. Tarzan talking about his wife even makes me like him a little. Everybody gets a brief video message from their loved ones, just to get the tears flowing early. Treemail is product placed, and leads me to believe that reward will be calls to home, but as always, the family and friends are already on the island. Alicia think she's in a pretty good position right now because she's none of those things. There may be hope for this season yet.Īt camp, in night cam after Tribal Council, Sabrina now has a big ol' target painted on her back because she's smart, straightforward, people like her, and she's articulate enough to convince a jury to see things her way. Resigned his seat in 2001.This episode made me happy. Became Deputy Prime Minister to John Major in 1996 before he declined to stand for Conservative leadership. Suffered a "severe" heart attack in 1993. In 1992 he was appointed Trade and Industry Secretary. From the backbenches, plotted a failed leadership bid in 1990. Resigned in 1986 after becoming involved in a dispute over helicopter company Westland. Appointed Environment Secretary in 1979 under Margaret Thatcher and sent in as "troubleshooter" after the 1981 Brixton riots. Promoted to Government in 1970 by Ted Heath, rising to the Department of Industry in 1972. Eventually elected MP for safe Tory seat of Tavistock, Devon. Then, with a flash of his wolfish smile, he is off to take an important phone call.Įducated Shrewsbury School then Pembroke College, Oxford.Ĭareer After failed attempts to become an MP, he focused on business, building a housing estate in Tenterden, Kent, and launched magazine publishers Haymarket. He is now Baron Heseltine of Thenford in the County of Northamptonshire in the House of Lords, and intent on using his experience to help revitalise the economy. "What you probably don't know was the item that was second on the agenda on the Cabinet from which I resigned – the poll tax!" His eyes come alive when it is suggested that after his departure the Thatcher government was increasingly beset by difficulties, such as the unpopular poll tax, which ultimately led to her ousting in 1990. "My position would have been intolerable if I had stayed and it would have been exploited by those who disliked me or disapproved of me, or who were frightened of me," he says. To a modern audience, Westland appears to have been a strangely arcane row to claim the scalps of two Cabinet ministers, but Heseltine believes he would have been "buried" by the Prime Minister if he had not stormed out. Heseltine says: "I've always liked and admired Leon and we remain friends to this day." However, he bears no-ill-will towards Brittan, believing him to have been acting on instructions from No 10 – which concurs with Brittan's account that he had "express approval" for the leak. he does have too much influence." He adds: "I think the sacking of James Harding raises a lot of questions." The Sun called Heseltinea "liar".Īsked for his opinion of Rupert Murdoch, the newspaper's proprietor, he says: "Undoubtedly he did make a major contribution at Wapping there's no doubt about that. Leon Brittan, the Trade and Industry Secretary, took the blame for leaking an unflattering phrase about Heseltine ("material inaccuracies") from an otherwise supportive letter from the Solicitor General. Whatever Thatcher's motivation, she refused Heseltine the opportunity to discuss the bids at Cabinet on 9 January 1986 and he famously stormed out.

Heseltine, an industrial interventionist, wanted Westland to be saved by a European bid backed by British Aerospace, while Thatcher backed Sikorsky – possibly as payback for US help during at the Falklands War. He then, spectacularly and very publicly, fell out with Mrs Thatcher, over the future of a loss-making helicopter company in Yeovil.
