I believe he was knighted for services to racism or something like that according to Wikipedia

I do believe the only thing he ever said in the House of Commons was ''Mr Speaker, would it be possible to have a window open as it is rather stuffy in here today? ''

I also think his daughter was a teacher at Leasowes, which is where me, Crookie and Scouse went. Enough said.
I believe he/the daughter may have lived in Raddens Road at the same time as me - well there must have been some reason why our road was gritted 3 winters running!

No, definitely no relation of mine!! I am glad to say that I am not related to a Conservative MP!

I belong to the 'Stokes Clan' of Brandhall!!
