Lost In The Post?
There is still no sign that the Monarchy (Abolition), Public Services (Abolition), Strong Unions (Abolition) and Rural Communities (Abolition) Bill will ever be brought back before the House of Commons. Jolly good. Is this perhaps because the Government is now so reliant on the media support of the estimable Geraldine “You Put Yourself In The Window, Caroline” Smith? Geraldine Smith is also a good, and I mean good, Catholic…
Yes......a Catholic like me born and baptised in Belfast.
ReplyDeleteA grammar school girl but not so far as Im aware a Catholic grammar school.
Yes a REAL LABOUR woman.
Broad Lancashire accent, and Lancashire contained plenty of Catholic grammar schools in her day.
ReplyDeleteAccording to wikipedia it waas Morcambe High School.
ReplyDeleteIts Wikipedia entry does not show any reference to Catholicism.
She certainly is a Catholic, though, and very critical of the horrendous Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill. The old Archbishop of Cardiff (I forget his name) used to say that people who had been Catholic pupils at non-Catholic schools were often sounder than those who had come up through the Catholic school system. Still, it seems odd in her case.
