Day 210: Gibson

[Silent Hunter]

Dr Ian Gibson, Lab, Norwich North.

[merseysider]

A maverick and a left-winger, but popular in his constituency. Norwich North was a Tory seat 1983-97, while Norwich South was Labour in '87 and '92, but now this is actually the safer of the two Norwich seats for Labour.

but popular in his constituency.

...and that's despite calling them all inbreds. Slight exaggeration.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Though before the '80's, North was a safe seat and South a marginal. Boundaries were different o/c, but even now, North is more working class than South (if you go by occupational statistics anyway; South has more council housing).

Well. They are.

Well. They are.

Thinking about this... I have actually heard people in hospital using the term "Normal For Norfolk".
