If ever I admired a woman more than my wife, it would be Lady Astor..
Lady Astor 100 Statue Campaign
Of the more than nine hundred statues and monuments in the UK, only 27 are of non-royal, non-mythical women. I am supporting the campaign to raise a statue to Devon's Nancy Astor, to celebrate one hundred years since she was elected as the first female MP to take her seat in Parliament. It was the people of Plymouth who voted her in just one year after some women were finally given the vote. She served the city as MP for Plymouth Sutton for another 26 years and fought for the rights and safety of women and children, education, the people of the city, and equality throughout that time.
The above is from Dr Sarah Wolleston's website..
Shame on Dr Sarah Wolleston for leaving parliament whilst her party is in chaos. Anyone claiming to represent their price should be holding a sit in and forcing government to sort the problem, not asking the people to change their decision to suit her view.
