Plus, as I mentioned at Liberal Drinks the other night, a contemporary of Gideon Osbourne: Jamie Bamber off of the new Battlestar Galactica.
I am afraid that Bamber and George Osborne went to St Paul's School. Therefore they could not lead the Liberal Democrats.
However, if media thought that Ming was too old, what would they think about John Locke or Henry Purcell?
If Charlie won't stand then surely the next best thing would be Mr Shane McGowan! (He was chucked out at 14 apparently) I imagine he would be particularly good at reading the autocue at party conferences.
Who cares how old he would be. John Locke's the closest thing to a liberal we've been offered yet...:)
Of course, got my public schools muddled. I have a cold.
I suppose Helena Bonham Carter has the heritage...
Lloyd-George fans wouldn't like it though - the Asquith family back ;)
The late Michael Robbins (author of "Middlesex" (1953, reprinted 2003), co-author of the official history of London Transport and friend - at Westminster and later - of Jack Simmons, sometime professor of history at Leicester)? Well he says more sensible things, in "Middlesex", about local government than the party sometimes has in recent years.
I quite liked Charles Kennedy's suggestion that Peter Hain should cross the floor of the House and stand.
