Once an integral part of the culture, but now kept going by a dwindling band of mostly elderly enthusiasts.
Though still with a stranglehold on the filling of seats in Parliament.

About Me
- David Lindsay
- The pro-life, pro-family, pro-worker and anti-war voice of an economically social democratic, morally and socially conservative patriotism towards the North of England, the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and Christendom. One Nation politics, with an equal emphasis on the One and on the Nation. Conservationist, not environmentalist. Far too conservative to be capitalist, far too left-wing to be liberal.

Not by Break Dancing Jesus.
Wrong chromosomes, poor soul.
But he'll get something eventually. Which is a terrifying indictment of what this country has become.
I assume you have heard the latest name in the frame for NW Durham.
It has to be a practising Catholic if Hilary retires, for all the reasons you already know. Including the fear that you would cut the Labour vote in half if it wasn't.
But you are presumably going to run anyway, so we are looking at a battle between a Catholic intellectual and, how can I put this, a non-intellectual. Selected purely for being both a Catholic and a woman.
There are regular rumours.
If the Pro-Life Alliance had stood here in 1997, it would have cut the Labour majority in half and seen Hilary replaced (no doubt in return for a peerage) with a pro-life Catholic in time for 2001.
I know, as I expect do you, who that would probably have been, even if he does have the misfortune of having a Y chromosome.
Why didn't it happen? We shall never know.
It's completely incomprehensible that the PLA never put up here. And it's completely incomprehensible this seat doesn't have a Catholic MP. In particular if the sitting MP was retiring, a local candidate who could get out the Catholic vote would easily be the first past the post.
There's local and there's local. And what if there were two local, Catholic candidates?
We are soon going to find out. And "there's local and there's local" alright.
If Labour puts up a local Catholic, they will be running scared of David Lindsay and he'll never stop reminding them of it. If they don't, they will be handing the seat to him plain and simple.
Hold on, hold on! Hilary might not retire after all. All the intelligence is that she very well won't, because she is so unimpressed by the calibre (or lack of it) of the potential successors being lined up.
How does NW Durham have Hilary? Hey, N Durham had Giles for long enough.
I used to wonder about that one myself. Much more left-wing CLP, back in the days when there still were CLPs.
I bet they miss him now.
I don't have to bet on it.
Careful, BDJ will set his brother-in-law on you again.
Not any more, he won't. He wouldn't dare.
A comment on the Tony Blair/Opus Dei thread says that "the orthodoxy of Hilary Armstrong's sucessor is to be vetted by you, on the grounds that if she is Catholic enough for you then she will be Catholic enough for anyone".
And I have replied that this is news to me, but they know where I am.
Hilary's successor of which party?
Is this the year when we finally get rid of BDJ?
I'll work with you if you'll work with me.
