Dig this Huntie. It's from Iain Crawford's book The Profumo Affair. Miss Keeler had been giving evidence in court-
Quote:Outside the court as Miss Keeler was driven away by her racing-driver friend Paul Mann, there were extraordinary scenes when women booed Miss Keeler and Miss Davis and banged on the car with their umbrellas.
The next day-
Quote: The demonstrations were resumed the next morning when the court, exceptionally, sat on a Saturday. Miss Davies, this time hatless and wearing a tight-fitting, little-girl style flannel dress, was booed and hissed as she got out of a white car and walked into the court. This did not seem to disconcert her in the least. With her head held high, she walked to a side entrance, sometimes turning to smile at a photographer in action. Other girl witnesses were less brazen and ran through the crowd into the court building with their hands covering their faces.
My Uncle Joe, and he was a plumber, told me that he once saw Miss Davis, when she went on tour after the case, with only her shoes on. It was a must see he had said. The pooter-pie that brought down a government. And she was brazen alright. She sashayed more or less in time to each of the ringside tables on each of which was a lamp. She had discovered at one point that her foot was itching.
As I write the matrons of the future are being shown on ITV fighting in the street. With their friends, the police and passing strangers. It's a programme about late night drinking in city centres on Sat-Nite.
Place is going to the dogs eh?
Stumble It!
