Mr Ashley writes reflecting on the work done by his father to "champion" the cause of the helpless and the distressed. He further writes that whilst his name may be forgotten by the Great, he believes it is still common knowledge among the middle classes and the poor. He also writes asking SCC to consider him should anything as a "safe" Liberal Unionist seat happen to become vacant. Sent from: Broadlands.
