To support what I am saying, let me simply quote one history of the civil service, which says:"““The Whitehall grapevine had it that the vital question being asked about the potential appointees was 'Is he one of us?'. This was taken to imply a commitment to the can-do ethos of Thatcherism rather than any obvious affiliation to the Conservative Party””."
That is quite fairly put and reflects the approach of a radical and reforming Administration.
