Hague went on to become an unsuccessful Tory Leader with that speech replayed constantly to haunt him. Young Krohn is politically doomed already. No doubt Krohn will be claiming he did copious amounts of Ice (or whatever da kidz are doing nowadays) 10 years from now in an attempt to prove he's an electable man of the people. <br /><br />http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/871543.stm The more things change, etc. Young Jonathan Krohn’s speech is reminiscent of the teenage (but old before his time) William Hague’s 1977 address to the UK Tory Party Conference.
