Good Godsiff
St Ermins Group veteran.
Balanced Migration stalwart.
And, as he has just made plain once again on the floor of the House, serious, articulate, uncompromising Eurosceptic.
A very great man: stalwart both of the Co-operative Party and of Balanced Migration, hammer both of European federalism and of Scottish separatism, and accurate denouncer of the Blairites, on the floor of the House, as "Maoists and Trotskyists".
Chairman of the Countryside Alliance, the President of which is a Labour peer.
Oh yes, there are still a few good ones left. But Godsiff, Davidson, Hoey, Frank Field: how many of them will contest the next Election, never mind the Election after that?
Ian Davidson is on splendid form at this very moment.
