. I craftily wrote a cameo role for our local MP to play himself - it got loads of press (the signs of my future career were obvious very early on).

This bit was particularly hilarious and ingenious too !

It's a very ME thing to do. Thank you. He appeared in all four plays and asked me to be the next MP. I went to work in Westminister and decided against it.

I campaigned for Labour in the general election and still v interested in politics - but I’ve been strongly advised against it by a friend who stood to be an MP. Says it is a v dirty business.

Like an alchemist, you made creative "gold" out of humiliation and more or less overt racism. You're a bright, talented writer and a spirited lady, Amy.
