Alf Morris
Lord Morris, who died this week at the age of 84, did more than anyone else for the rights of disabled people in Britain. When even the Nazigraf writes a glowing tribute about a Leftie, you just know he must have been someone special. RIP.

It seems that he lived a very full life.

Re: Alf Morris
What a disjointed mess of an obituary though. And Nazigraf? Et tu Deanus?

Nazigraf? What a silly thing that distracts us from the point of the post.

Sorry - wasn't trying to undermine my own thread - I thought everyone called it that.....
[....... and shouldn't that be 'et tu, Deane'?]

Re: Alf Morris
It is unusual in this day and age to see a politician that actually achieved some worthwhile things (even if no one had really heard of him) as oppossed to the vacuous boasting we normally get.

Re: Alf Morris
nope "the Torygraph" normally, a bit more accurate and a lot less offensive

Re: Alf Morris
I wasn't necessarily objecting to your characterisation of the newspaper, just a bit surprised that you would have called it such; Torygraph would probably be a more common and less controversial description. As distasteful as thinking people might find the casual bigotry of the spluttering old colonels, they are a few steps short of the real thing...

Yeah, well I went to the only Catholic school that never actually taught Latin so I'm way out of my depth there.

Re: Alf Morris
Then I proceeded to compare it to the term Faux News and thought use of the term was likely subconscious on your part and not an attempt to make an issue out of it.
I didn't hit submit cause I well thought I come off as presumptuous but...here I am
