"Frankly, he had no use for the National Government. He feared the Conservative Party
had been led astray by strange gods and had departed from its old ideals. This was
how the Norfolk Chronicle summed up the speech of Colonel Thomas Purdy to a gathering
of the North Norfolk Conservative Association in January 1935. The colonel was well
known in the county. He had served as an officer in the Norfolk Regiment during the
Great War, including as a company major with the men of the king's Sandringham estate
who met their fate in Gallipoli. A lifelong Conservative and party activist, he had
railed against the cross-party National government's 'un-Conservative' policies since
the formation of that administration in 1931. Continued membership, he warned, amounted
to self-destruction. He had most emphatically not, he said, become a Conservative
in order to support coalition government, much less so one led since 1931 by a Labour
prime minister. Ramsay MacDonald was a peace campaigner during the war and a socialist
whose policies now included far-reaching reforms to the Indian constitution, a particular
bugbear for Purdy"
