Just read this article about former Home Secretary Alan Johnson.. I take it from his League Cup 67 Program and his Rodney Marsh poster that heâs an R, which is something I didnât know. Any others people know about? I've heard people mention Robert Smith, Mick Jones, Glenn Matlock, Bill Bailey, Pete Docherty....and (ahem) Andrew Ridgeley. Any more?? http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2013/apr/28/alan-johnson-prime-minister-almost
In political terms, two famous Irish R's. Ming Flanagan, Independent TD (MP) for Roscommon is an R. Fiach Mac Conghail, CEO Abbey Theatre, Dublin, is a senator in the lower house of the Irish parliament. House of lords in the UK I think.
Oh yeah, think that rings a bell. Ashley Giles, current head coach of the England one day side isn't it?
Yes, Tooting, Fiach came along. Inkedupp keeps in contact on twitter I think. Ming Flanagan is more infamous in Ireland as he got elected as a one issue independent and is very outspoken on everything. He goes to the parliament dressed in casual clothes, refuses to wear shirts and ties and openly admits he smokes cannabis.
