Guest flightline Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Tony Banks MP has announced his retirement. He won`t be standing at the next election. I know you`ll all be devasted by the news-he`s one of the prime movers for a fox hunting ban. It`s very relevant to his East London constituency. He`s also in favour of angling which shows he`s a complete hypocrite as well as a w...er. Good riddance. Pity it didn`t happen earlier, along with people like Kaufman and Winnick.

webber Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Come the next election, there may be several more announcing their retirement from parliament, but not from choice. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flightline Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Hope so Webber. I don`t think Banksie had much choice as I think he was leaned on by the Party to make way for a younger girlie through an all woman shortlist. He`ll probably go to the Lords as Lord Banks of Stamford Bridge (should be of Gobs...e) -he`s a big Chelsea fan apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
