Back in 2002 for the 100th Post, Wowbagger pointed out that, on average, most researchers will contribute 45 words to the Official Guide.

Intrigued by this idea, Demon Drawer decided to expand on this thought a little and produced a series in which he attempted to describe the lives of prominent people in just 45 words—not the easiest task in the world! Hopefully The Post readers, being a discerning lot, weren�t caught out too badly yesterday. If not, this is 45 words about what has happened to you.

Born amongst Liberals, but led Labour in the fight


And their worst result for 50 years.


First stood for election in 1935


But post War Member for Plymouth Devonport, Ebbw Vale and Blaenau Gwent


Not smartest dress-sense.


Humanist, pacifist, unilateralist.


Journalist, politician, Plymouth Argyle supporter.
