Teddy Taylor dead
« on: September 21, 2017, 04:16:43 PM »

Not someone I had any agreements with, other than his liking for Bob Marley, but a good constituency MP when he represented Cathcart. In a Mandela effect, I could have sworn I had read his obituary some time ago but what I can't get over is he was only 80!!!! I am sure he was 50 the day he was born as I remember him 45 years ago appearing in his mid 50s

Yeah. He looked 50 to me and that was 30 years ago!

Like him or loathe him, he was a character - and stuck to his principles rather than seek power.

I will charitable and write only that Taylor was less vile than that other Tartan Tory of the south, Eric Forth.

Taylor did at least have a reputation as being a good constituency MP, Forth never held a surgery because he did not think that the time of a parliamentarian should be wasted on constituency matters.
