Sir Robert Peel

Public opinion is a compound of folly, weakness, prejudice, wrong feeling, right feeling, obstinacy, and newspaper paragraphs.

Sir Robert Peel, Baronet

(English Prime Minister 1834-1835, 1841-1846)

Sir Robert Peel (1788 - 1850) is regarded as the father of modern British policing and one of the founders of the British Conservative Party.

He seems to have anticipated the influence and attitude of lofo Democrats.
