Re: papal knighthood for former MP
Knew from updates on Facebook how ill he is, and knowing how strong his faith is to him, I hope this honour from the Vatican brings him some comfort.
I've posted before how he helped me as a student, when I was battling Liverpooi city council in the eighties, even though there wasn't a vote in it for him. He was definitely a people, rather than party politican. I wish there were more like him today. Most of my political heroes are from the left. I think this rare breed, a politican not in it for themselves, deserves inclusion on my list.

Re: papal knighthood for former MP
Sorry to hear that Ken is unwell. I've never heard anyone say a bad word about him. Was clearly very well respected before and after being Hyndburn's MP.
