Title: Dennis Skinner. 'To Be a Socialist, You Have to Be an Optimist'
Post by: Fly on November 12, 2013, 07:02:20 PM

Now being an ex miner, and from Bolsover, I have a lot of admiration for my local MP, The Beast Of Bolsover.

"My father told me that I was political by the time I was four," he says. "He told me there was no such thing as Santa Claus, because Santa Claus was an economic being who only went to houses where they had money. I learned that lesson pretty early on."

Just love his outspoken way. Makes them squirm doesn't it.
I didn't realise his age though.
