The death of Leo Abse, the Welsh, Jewish, former Labour, dandy MP has been announced at the age of 91.The MP for Pontypool will be best remembered for being the driving force behind the decriminalising of homosexuality; wedding a Polish woman 50 years his junior and liberalising divorce law grounds to 'the irretrievable breakdown of marriage'.
Well-intentioned he may have been but he set us onto the slippery slope which has produced that catastrophic mess we inhabit today which we call society.
