I am humbled to have first met Harry as a friend about 15 years ago –
He is a remarkable character! <!–var googleUrl="/telegraph/template/ver1-0/templates/fragments/search/components/google/GAFSTransform.jsp?";function doneGAFShtml (htmlstr) { //alert(htmlstr); htmlstr = htmlstr.split("<").join("”).join(“>”).split(“&”).join(“&”); var parts = htmlstr.split(“[BREAK]”); var slot1 = document.getElementById(“gafsslot1”); var slot2 = document.getElementById(“gafsslot2”); if (parts[0] != null) { slot1.innerHTML=parts[0]; if (parts[1] != null) { slot2.innerHTML=parts[1]; } }}function initGoogleWS () { var ajaxgws = new AJAXInteraction(googleUrl+’q=%22tim+Congdon%22&ua=Mozilla%2F5.0+%28Windows%3B+U%3B+Windows+NT+5.1%3B+en-US%3B+rv%3A1.9.1.10%29+Gecko%2F20100504+Firefox%2F3.5.10+%28+.NET+CLR+3.5.30729%29&ip=81.129.95.33&p=’, null, doneGAFShtml); ajaxgws.doGet();}initGoogleWS();//–>

Sadly there is something of a dirth of characters like Harry or we might not be in the sad position we now hold.
That said he was and is an honourable man a rare commodity amongst politicians nowadays as it has become a ‘job’ with minimum work and maximum pay and attracts some of the most loathsone oiks – one need only read UKIP members only Forum or Anthony Butcher’s scrofulous followers who post with ignorant regularity.
May I commend other talks by Harry on You Tube for The Marlborough Research Group which he still runs with Robert Francis both friends who used to attend the political weekends at The Huntsman Nr. Chepstow, which I used to run (more like herding cats! and on that note not only have we lost Christopher Story but Michael Shrimpton is going back home to Oz at the end of this month!)
