I see that the Aberbargoed & Bargoed ward includes the village of Bedwellty which is tiny. Obviously it gave its name to an urban district which in turn gave its name to the parliamentary seat, but it still must be one of the smallest (if not the smallest) places to have provided a constituency name Roxburgh? |

Huh? Danny La Rue was mainstream family entertainment 50 years ago. And then later Hinge and Bracket. Lily Savage was obviously post-watershed. Mrs Brown's Boys, rubbish but not perverted. And before them, Old Mother Riley and pantomime dames. The pro LGBT charter, conflate things in the mainstream with their overtly sexualised and disgusting “culture” to make it appear civil. My wife's sister, sadly no longer with us, was a huge fan of Mrs Brown. From the odd cursory glance, I had assumed it was tripe; but now I realize it is for perverts I'll have to give it another look. So thanks for the tip, and also for enabling me to see my late sister-in-law in a completely different light. |

I don't think so. Wiki doesn't give populations for either settlement, but on Google Maps Bedwellty looks like it has about six houses |

Kincardine. Of current seats, Strangford. |

There is no "LGBT charter". Gay men are mostly linked to drag, I haven't been to a drag show for years. It can be amusing, but if they don't like it, that's their problem. It's certainly more enjoyable than some conservative religionists! |

Kincardine. Of current seats, Strangford. The village of Strangford is a metropolis in comparison to Bedwellty |

Surely Strangford constituency is named after the lough not the village? Although perhaps the lough is named after the village.

Clearly you didn’t read my original post, and for what it’s worth my late brother loved that rotten show too - so you can shove the above guilt tripping. |

And to answer another point: yes, Strangford is named after the Lough but equally, Kincardine and Roxburgh took their names from the eponymous counties rather than from the long-since-abandoned burghs after which those counties were named. |

North London bipedal elite independent’s day. BTW andrewteale , you missed two independents. Islington has five non-Labour Councillors. Of course, it'll be six tomorrow. It was a good write-up though. |
