A very special evening in the Guildhall. The event was to commemorate the unveiling of a statue of Ronald Reagan in Grosvenor Square this morning. William Hague, Liam Fox and Condoleeza Rice were all guest-speakers, and all spoke about human values of freedom and democracy.
Reagan was a great American President, and a champion of these values. He stood up to Soviet Communism, and alongside Margaret Thatcher brought about the end of the Cold War. At the time he was he much under-rated. History judges this President very differently.
As Reagan once said: "give people the freedom to choose and they will always choose freedom". Worth remembering as we watch events in the Middle East.

Ronald Reagan always makes me think of Iran-Contra and Bank BCCI.
