Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 24, 2018 I 'think' this is the right thread. ??

From 2005 until 2010, he held a seat in the Sudanese parliament for the Muslim Brotherhood. Later he ran a commercial office in Khartoum until his election as the group’s General Supervisor replacing Yusuf Nur Al-Daem. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,623 Posted December 27, 2018 Another British MP who died off the radar. This time Conservative MP John Harold Hollingworth who served in 1959-1964 Parliament for the Birmingham All Saints seat (presumably contemporarily renamed to Birmingham All Imams?). His will confirms he died in March. That site seems to be becoming ever more useful given that the ability of the UK Press to cover stories is sadly diminishing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
