Striking that it would have been an "Alliance" hold in 83 and 87

The Greenwich half was in Woolwich was John Cartwright's (not that one) fiefdom; the SDP were also very strong in the Bexley half, although Erith and Crayford's SDP-defecting Jim Wellbeloved did not hold on.

Who was the MP who described Jim Wellbeloved as ironically named? Jon Silkin and Bob Mellish. Probably among others...

We could really do with more MPs like that. He was clearly a bruiser, but a big softie compared to his old boss Roy Mason! |

In all seriousness though, Wellbeloved did a huge amount of good work over organ transplantation after he lost his seat in 1983. A curious fact is that quite a few otherwise... er... difficult... MPs took an interest in the subject: Dalyell himself did, as did Sir Gerald Nabarro (though there were surgeons who thought his assistance was not always entirely helpful).

The only reference i can find is from May 1966 when the unlikely combination of Ray Fletcher (Ilkeston 1964-83) and Christopher Mayhew (Woolwich East 1951-74, and previously South Norfolk 1945-5) got together and apparently tried to get Labour MPs to indulge in "fewer slogans and a more reasoned approach to Foreign Affairs". Good luck with that, lads.

Good luck with that, lads. [/div][/quote] That's interesting. The group I mentioned was formed in response to the 'Keep Left' group of the early 50s. It really would be Peak Labour Party to have had multiple 'Keep Calm' groups over the years, none of which managed to calm anyone down the slightest. |
