Ken Hargreaves is regarded by almost everyone, regardless of the banner they happen to be waving, to have been an excellent MP.

Believe it or not, there is quite a lot of cross-party respect flying about up at Scaitcliffe House these days.

No he probably pointed out there was a knife handle protruding from Peters back, placed there by one of his (Peters), loyal supporters.:D

I always thought he was like his lose chum Anne Widdicome.

Returned to life's sorting office, untouched.

Please read close, instead of lose, or loose.

My mistake.

I'd agree with Ken Hargreaves.

He's a lovely man. I've just interviewed him to write an article for the Parish Magazine and he's led such an amazing life and done a lot of great work. Plus, he has never moved more than a mile away from his roots (apart from his stint as MP) and he's passionate about the local community.

Yep, give Ken the Freedom of the Borough.
