Geraldine Smith (former MP for Morecambe and Lunesdale) provided the droning, dreadful voice in which her letters are written. The Beast of Bolsover provided some of the rhetoric. And, interestingly (or not) some of her stuff comes straight from Tony Blair, actually culled from speeches.<br /><br />She will live on beyond Iain's blog, however. She needs a rest, but she'll be back at nabidana.com and eventually her own website.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831247716270711519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-84853659293626495482010-12-17T16:40:20.074+00:002010-12-17T16:40:20.074+00:00I see you resisted the temptation to go out on a h...I see you resisted the temptation to go out on a high note.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542633492362670045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-30368815050157089362010-12-17T12:42:54.612+00:002010-12-17T12:42:54.612+00:00Now that Iain has stepped aside, would it be appro...Now that Iain has stepped aside, would it be appropriate to reveal which real-life Labour MP Geraldine Dreadful is actually based on?Paul Linfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977920120772282561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-57623521950438044082010-12-16T16:29:48.664+00:002010-12-16T16:29:48.664+00:00Rude word: ...

They plumb depths to which Geraldiine can but aspire.<br /><br />Peter Simple, the late Michael Wharton, used to complain that his fictional characters were regularly overtaken by reality.

Comrade Frank Obfuscati. <br /> It was after a constructive meeting in which Frank assured me that capitalism would still be legal, just very frowned upon. As I walked out of the Constituency Resistance Cell Frank's little helpers were all smiles. I later learned through a mutual friend that as I went on to the street Geraldine (always the wag) quipped 'when the revolution comes pigs like him will be the first to be shot.'<br /> I met Frank in 1999 when Geraldine was PPS to Sir Lawrence Beria. We met in Spain where Frank had bought a vineyard. Frank told me that he wasn't surprised Geraldine had become a Blairite as (in his words) 'she was always very right wing'.Conandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028671462205997161noreply@blogger.com
