What a surprising new development to the personality of Hugh Bailey, our MP. They can’t keep him off the local stage nowadays and his performances are Oscar quality. I would not be surprised to see him as a grey haired OAP at the local benefit office next. His latest role of Bingo caller surpassed anything seen during his long tenure. Will it be curtain call at the end of one show or curtain raiser of a new one?

Looking closely at the Press photo, I can only count an audience of seven players in a sea of empty tables.
