Revealing views from the Corrective Party


FORMER London brothel madam Lindi St Clair has


added her name to the growing list of colourful, contenders in the Ribble Valley by-election with the message: “ I t ’s important to oppose narrow-minded­ ness and to cut out hum­ bug and waffle.” Miss St Clair was speak­


ing this week from her party’s Earl’s Court head­ quarters, which also dou­ bles as her business address, where she now runs a leisure company operating a telephone chat line service. As revealed in the


“Advertiser and Times” last week, Miss St Clair is standing for the Correc­ tive Party, which she says wants to decriminalise sexual services, including prostitution and brothels.

brothel and helped to Keep rape off the streets,” she declared. “ However, I ’ve never been a prostitute.” Miss St Clair, who was


born in Ayrshire, was brought up in Wiltshire, attending Marlborough Girls' Grammar School. “You may describe me as having a high IQ, but it is not in the Mensa cate­ gory,” she declared. Her business interests

campaign whenever it commences and I am over­


joyed by the decision of the Ribble Valley Conser­ vative Association. I am very keen to get on with the job at hand.” Facing questions from


local and national journal­ ists, Mr Evans was asked how he thought the elec­ torate would view an out­ side candidate for the job. “The selection was on the best candidate, the best person for the job.” He said he intended to

whether a local candidate should have been selected, Mr Evans said he would like to point out that peo­ ple in Wales had once doubted the appointment of Englishman Peter Walker as Welsh Secre­ tary, but before he had been in the job 12 months they had realised he was the best for the post.
