Letter: The last two remaining honourable gentlemen
Upon reading this morning’s papers, telling everyone about the birthday of a member of the Labour Party, Mr Dennis Skinner’s 80th birthday.
Many happy returns to the Rt Hon Member of Parliament for Bolsover.
In fact there are not a lot of Rt Hon members left, unfortunately.
I wish there were a hundred Dennis Skinners in our Labour Party. I’d bet money there’s none in the ConDems.
Prime Minister David Cameron called Mr Skinner a dinosaur. Well, he should know all about dinosaurs. His Conservatives are neanderthals, and one Dennis Skinner is worth 20 of them. They are so out of touch with the real British people.
There’s one other Rt Hon Labour Party member – Mr Tony Benn. He retired but I wish he was back with Dennis Skinner.
Bless them both, I’ve always admired the both of them.
