The Lib Dem M.P. is Simon Hughes, by the way.
The then in-the-closet homosexual, who fought one of the dirtiest by-elections of the twentieth century. In which the Labour candidate was attacked in the then safe seat, by the vilest homophobic abuse, which secured him a victory.
Nearly thirty years later, Hughes is regarded as a bit of a wet blanket, whilst his former opponent, Peter Tatchell, is regarded by some, as a bit of a hero, when it comes to fighting for civil liberties.
Could perhaps explain why some people who live there are a little unhinged.
It's a lot to live with.
Makes Hyndburn seem like Shangri-La, by political comparison.
