I did, she seemed a good sort, but not surprised I didnt know who she was.

She used to sit in the directors box in the place now occupied by Bills mate the Ocoan Games magnate. She would wave and smile at the crowd and everyone would cheer and shout 'Good old Bessie'. She was an MP and once in the House of Commons accused Winston Churchill of being drunk, to which he replied 'You are ugly, madam, and I may be drunk, but I shall be sober in the morning'.

That's why the country's such a mess - if everyone wasn't so ignorant, we wouldn't have your Thatchers, Duckinfields and Westminster paedo rings

No hes got a point, I could have prevented all this just by learning about the political movement in 1926 Ethiopia.

I think that Ethiopian politics from 1930 onwards is more likely to be of interest. There's some tenuous crossover with other interests of yours.
