Naomi...can't disagree with you there !

// was that the "If you want a [N-word] for a neighbour vote Labour" one?//

yeah just to remind you - Patrick Gordon Walker did not win a seat at the 1964 General Election and so someone was found to stand down precipitate a by-election
and a tory was returned - afterwards referred to as a parliamentary leper by an unamused Harold Wilson

This left the labout govt with a majority of two - and so they had three line whips for absolutely everything. Step forward two trouble makers Desmond Donelly and Woodrow Wyatt. They were always revolting about something

Desmondo died relatively early ( seventies I think )

and Woodrow Wyatt - - - became the Voice of Reason in the now defunct News of the Screws.....

There must be an election coming ... 2015
Fingers back in the till
and election fraud ....
are two sure signs

I'm very shocked and disappointed. He was a very well regarded man who had served this country very well when he was an army captain and continued to do so in civilian life.

What possessed him to dream up such a ridiculous scheme is beyond me.

The interesting thing about Donnelly is that shortly before the 1970 election he switched parties and became a Tory. At the election he was returned as a Tory for the same seat that he had held for Labour.

Ignore the above, false memory syndrome. Donnelly was expelled from the Labour Party and lost his seat to the Tories in 1970. He joined the Tory party in 1971 but failed to get back into parliament. He also had business worries and committed suicide in 1974.
