Another Tribute to Eric Forth
Phil Cowley at Revolts.co.uk has written an excellent piece on Eric Forth. Click HERE.
Excellent piece on the life of Mr Forth. He was very unique. I think he deserved more attention. I also think it chimes quite nicely with how William Hague described himself as a (i paraphrase as I can't be arsed to find the whole quote, "19th century politician who would have got far more recognition, when all an MP's life was centred around parliament."
Forgive me if I'm being a little insensitive this early as regards Eric's successor at Bromley & Chiselhurst - but this is the lead thread on politicalbetting.com today - would you consider, as a fairly local lad and a good friend of his, throwing your hat into the ring for this seat?

Succinct....great read....where/who is the next Parliamentary champion of the backbenches?
Who is it that dares to carry Forth's flag?
