has an Olympic silver medal from coxing the men's eight at the 1980 Moscow games. in contravention of Mrs Thatcher's requested boycott. I liked and supported the Thatcher regime. I did not like or respect Moynihan and thought in political terms that he was a bit of a fool. But, I did not support the boycott of the Moscow games and I did support all those who broke the boycott. I am in general terms as opposed to boycotts as I am to all strikes and to all demonstations, whatever the cause or lack of it. I have at time changed my conduct and my habits to counter these like spending three years only buying South African wine.

But, I did not support the boycott of the Mocow games and I did support all those who broke the boycott . Is that some sort of parrot? I would certainly agree with you about Moynihan and I do retain a grudging respect for Thatcher despite disagreeing with her on every issue.

Classic case of Lib Dem over nomination there I think.

I see Mark Pack has picked up the story with the headline "Lib Dem wins parliamentary by election". I guess he had been saving it for somewhere else.

Lord De Clifford's grandfather was the last member of the House of Lords to be 'tried by his peers' (for manslaughter after a road crash on the Kingston bypass).

Lord Camoys (C) (William Stonor) elected to replace the late Lord Brougham and Vaux (C). www.parliament.uk/globalassets/documents/lords-information-office/2023/hereditary-peers-by-election-result-brougham-and-vaux.pdf“Camoys, L. (Conservative) My 26 years' experience in investment and foreign affairs, including running my own business advising on Western engagement in China (based in Beijing from 2010-15) follows my time in the Foreign Office (Afghanistan, Iran, India and Counter Terrorism). A founder of the UK's premier film studio planned for Marlow and chairman of a Nepalese nature conservation charity, I would look to contribute on foreign affairs, finance, nature conservation and the creative economy”

The winning candidate had more than double the number of votes of the second-placed candidate on the first count (and more than 37 per cent of the vote). Should the alternative vote really be needed in such circumstances?

Should the alternative vote really be needed in such circumstances? Yes. 63% of the voters may have despised him and thought literally anyone would be better in this lifetime appointment.
