Is Michael Ancram really a "Thatcherite"? He wasn't especially so when he was a Minister.
In fact, Ancram (long the weak link in The Henry Jackson Society, and good for him) should cast himself, much more accurately, as a voice of the aristocratic social conscience, of its stake in the Keynes-Beveridge-Attlee Settlement through the farm subsidies that pay the rent which sustains it, of Catholic Social Teaching, and of the Catholic Unionist traditions in Scotland and Ireland.
A voice desperately needing to be heard, in fact. And what he was really trying to say, I suspect.
