In the early nineten eighties, at the height of the Thatcher Government's war on the Working Class, Manchesters punk poet John Cooper Clarke, then at the height of his popularity, used to perform a poem that contained the lines:
Keith Joseph laughs and a baby dies
In a box on Beasley Street...
Keith Joseph was a right wing idealogue and Margaret Thetcher's chief policy adviser.
A sad news item today was the story of skeletons of two babies being found in an empty house in Manchester. Police said the bodies hd been there some years.
Spooky or what?

The idea that Keith Joseph had ever laughed in his life is one that strikes me as highly improbable.
