William Hague

The Right Honourable William Jefferson Hague (born March 26, 1961) is a British politician and former leader of the Conservative Party. Hague was born in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, into an upper-middle class family in a strongly working-class area, and caused a sensation at the age of sixteen by speaking at the Conservative party's 1977 national conference. This appearance is so infamous that the comedian Harry Enfield based his Tory Boy character on it, long before Hague emerged as a well-known politican.
