Members of Parliament
I really don't know much about any of them: knowing politicians is rather infra dig in my circles. John Healey at least lives in the borough I have a nodding acquaintance with him, his wife, his mother, his mother-in-law and the dog Ketchup. Their house is up for sale in 2007 and neither facts nor rumours have reached my ears. I understand that the Healeys have moved to Wickersley for better schooling for their children.
May 2010 - All these Members of Parliament have been re-elected in the General Election which saves me having to do any research. Whew!
