Dean Trench revisited

Added: 27 May 2011

Some things never change.  If you need proof of this have a look again at the wisdom of W4MP’s own Dean Trench. 

It’s been over a year now since Dean’s tragic demise and some of you who came new to this Parliament may never have benefitted from the advice and reflections which Dean so generously shared with us for two and a half glorious years. 

Now, here’s your chance to catch up.  It’s the Whitsun Recess, the boss is taking a break; so sit back and treat yourself. One word of advice from us: probably best to leave the obit until the end.

W4MP Ed.

PS. News has just reached us that those who manage Dean's estate (such as it was) have threatened a super-injunction if we reveal more than the most minimal information on Dean's identity.  Dean - all your secrets are safe with us and, yes, the usual brown envelope has arrived safely.....Thanks.
