Somewhat saddened to hear of the death of Betty Boothroyd today. A woman with an admirable balance between grit, humility and humour who presided over the often kindergarten like fracas that's the House of Commons. Whilst admittedly I not a real fan of women in politics in general, I admired her greatly and am grateful for her work and the memories of her gravelly Yorkshire accent demanding "Order, order"!
