My brother Esau is an hairy man

The Oxford Mail has a photograph of Chris Huhne taking part in a student demonstration in 1973.

And very 1973 he looks too. This was the year when Ming Campbell still held the British 100 metres record and Simon Hughes was presumably following Iron Maiden around the country.

Found via Recess "Cheeky" Monkey and Antonia's blog.

    Thanks Angus.

    I did wonder about that. It means that the newspaper stories about Simon Hughes spending the 1970s following Iron Maiden have grown a lot in the telling.

    Iron Maiden started in 1975 just playing pubs and things.
    Bruce wasn't even on the first album, he joined when they sacked their original lead singer for being too drunk and violent...

    So, he could have followed them for the latter part of the 70s I suppose...
