Throwback Thursday: Blake, the Liberal Cat

Blake, pictured here circa 1979 was an extremely fine cat, and very aware of the fact. His mother belonged to the local liberal candidate (this being in the days before the Liberal Party merged with the Social Democrats). He was named after Blake, from Blake's 7 because the cleaning lady said she wouldn't feed a cat called Avon.
It has been, since Saturday, a very Liberal Democrat dominated week. I feel mildly hunted.
