Dennis Skinner : I was pretty sick to my stomach if you can imagine I mean I was six years old! What did he expect? So after he beat me up and err I had time to think things over a bit... I snuck back into the room where he did his cutting up and stuff and I just stood there looking at my mother's dead body for hours... dead in a box! Well my father hadn't done such a good job of sewing her up like he always used to say too me "Sewing Is Woman's Work Son" anyway I just kidda walked over to the corpse where my mother was and I reached down and a pulled my mother's face right off
[grins slightly]
Dennis Skinner : Just Like Father Showed Me! And then I walked across the big mirror that father used to keep in his room and err I looked at myself in it! Except it wasn't me looking back at me... it was my mother... and believe me at six years old that can really freak you out... you know what I mean?
