In 1983 his politics and mine were different. Nowadays I intended every week to call him and see if we could do something together but years slid past.
His views on everything then, unlike mine, were very conservative indeed, especially on immigration. He was a real working class East Ender, a devout Catholic with five children. He once said that if no-one else would be hangman he would do the job.
He was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Michael Portillo for many years. After he was knighted he had this picture taken.
Wait! How could that be? Aren't stabbing knives against the law?
ReplyDeleteAgain proving the complete uselessness of the British Policeman... unless he's arresting some 80 yo lady for making tranny feel sad.
