Really good read on wiki on him.
I liked this bit
Smith wrote, “I am one of the last few remaining voices left from a generation of men and women who built a better society for our children and grandchildren out of the horrors of the second world war, as well as the hunger of the Great Depression. Sadly, that world my generation helped build on a foundation of decency and fair play is being swept away by neoliberalism and the greed of the 1%, which has brought discord around the globe. Today, the western world stands at its most dangerous juncture since the 1930s.”

Amen brother.
 
Bletchley Park code-breaker, Baroness Trumpington, dies aged 96.
Hell of a character she was. Expert at giving the 'V' sign.
My ma was at Bletchley at the same time, doing the same job.
No proof, but my mother was an avid gardener and was wandering round the grounds one day and happened to bump into Churchill who was taking a smoke break. They chatted for a while and he eventually asked her what job she was doing.
"I'm afraid I can't tell you sir, it's top secret", was her response.
RIP mum, nowt phased you XXX.

I often wonder why my middle name is Glenn ?

That's a lovely story and so typically English. Your mum must have been a real gem.
