prussianblue 1,031 Posted December 5, 2023 4 hours ago, Ulitzer95 said: David Wilshire (wiki), British Conservative MP for Spelthorne (1987–2010), dead at 80. Telegraph obit. Died back on 31 October but only reported now. Very controversial figure – he was the architect of Section 28. Later got fucked by the expenses scandal in 2009 and was forced to stand down. His successor as MP was none other than ex-Chancellor extraordinaire Kwasi Kwarteng. They sure know how to pick them in Spelthorne! 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
