You *know* which side she would have been on in the 1930s. The one to keep her great-grandparents out. From Wiki:
![Lam was educated at her local comprehensive, Guildford County School, where she was head girl [citation needed]. Her paternal grandfather's family is of Dutch Jewish descent and her paternal grandmother's family were from Germany and included a left-wing senator representing Saxony. Her grandmother's family moved to England to escape political persecution. Most of her grandfather's family was killed in the Holocaust. Her father's parents met while delivering leaflets for the Labour Party in the 1940s.[3] Lam read classics at Trinity College, Cambridge. While at Cambridge she was elected president of the Cambridge Union and chairman of the Cambridge University Conservative Association.[4]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eow7va63cfa7lfh3chadb7/bafkreicuchbei66jfckqaevgqhdxy4ti25cdthwkisfklsc375qdaeetlq@jpeg)

Tidemarks of TOC franchise changes. The white stickers are covering the words "First Capital Connect" an old franchise.
Another waste which hopefully GB Railways will squash.

It's a nice sunny day, so I thought I would share these. Drawing by mother's father, Sean McManus done in the Dublin in the 1930s. Published in the Capuchin Annual (yes, I don't understand that either). My grandfather added the extra 'A' in his surname for reasons I'm not entirely clear on...
