Betty Boothroyd RIP

[Michael Rolls]

the first female Speaker of the HoC has died, aged 93. Highly respected by both sides of the House during her tenure' I like a recent quote of hers

>>"Never in my parliamentary experience have I witnessed such a collapse of the people's trust in a government that promised so much and so quickly," she said.<<

Straight talking Yorkshire woman, she's a legend.  RIP

The old style MPs are the best IMO. Today's are useless and a real pain in the ass, you can't believe a word they say.
