Re: Margaret McKay M.P.

[quote=garinda;739310]'From an Accrington mill to British MP via a Moscow spy school. The story of Margaret McKay could easily have been the plot of a Hollywood blockbuster.'

Lancashire news, sport and entertainment from Lancashire, Greater Manchester & Merseyside - Margaret's life reads like a film script

Interesting to note from this that she had four books published, including a autobiography A Generation in Revolt, and blamed Robert Maxwell for the fact she didn't have more published.

'In a letter to Jim Ainsworth, author of a book about Hyndburn Trade Unions, Mrs McKay wrote: "..he (Maxwell) was my bitter political foe and aided in driving me out of Parliament.'


It's a remarkable story. Jim Ainsworh's a mate of mine, and knew she had written to him about her recollections of Ossy.
