Mw. Musamize,
thanks, that's exactly him. But this is probably beyond our friend.
Mulindwa, you can't just move on before providing the evidence that Obote
sent money to Muteesa II while he was in exile as you allege. You have been
promising for weeks to post it but nothing has been forthcoming. So, where
is the evidence ?

Mw. Kasangwawo:
Would this, by any chance, the George Thomas the article refers to?
George Thomas, 1st Viscount TonypandyFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Thomas%2C_1st_Viscount_Tonypandy
Viscount Tonypandy
Thomas George Thomas, 1st Viscount Tonypandy (born Port Talbot, January 29,
1909; died September 22, 1997) was a British Labour politician.
The second son of a Welsh miner, he was raised by his mother in the village
of Trealaw in Wales, just across the river from the town of Tonypandy. At
the time, a good education was seen as the best means of escape from the
valleys and he was chosen to attend Tonypandy Grammar School. After
attending University College, Southampton, he worked as a teacher in both
London and Cardiff.
Elected to parliament in the Attlee landslide of 1945, he held the seats of
Cardiff Central (1945-50) and Cardiff West (1950-83) until his retirement
from the Commons in 1983.
He was one of the first on the scene of the Aberfan disaster, which
occurred while he was a Minister at the Welsh Office. As Secretary of State
for Wales from 1968 to 1970, he presided over the investiture of the Prince
of Wales at Caernarvon Castle in 1969.
During Thomas's term of office as Speaker of the House of Commons from 1976
to 1983, the first broadcasting of Parliamentary proceedings brought him
unprecedented public attention, but he proved more impartial than party
colleagues had expected. In 1983 he retired and was created Viscount
Tonypandy, one of the last creations of a hereditary peerage. Thomas was
always opposed to Welsh nationalism: one of his final political acts was
his public opposition to the Blair government's devolution proposals of
1997.
After Tonypandy's death, a former Welsh Labour MP, Leo Abse, created a
controversy by alleging that Thomas had been homosexual and had been the
victim of blackmail for this reason. Abse, the MP who introduced the
private member's bill which decriminalised homosexuality in Britain,
discussed this incident in his book Tony Blair: The Man Behind the Smile.
He said that Thomas had paid money to blackmailers to keep his "gay
lifestyle" secret. Abse said that he had once lent Thomas �800 to pay off
blackmailers.
Throughout his career he remained a deeply religious man, and was a
prominent member of the Methodist church. Known by the nickname "Tommy
Twice" (from his full name), his Welsh cries of "Order! Order!" as Speaker
were familiar to a generation of Britons.

The whole article is a lie and I just moved on, I prefer researched
articles
because George Thomas was not even a mister of state at a time. But what I
posted in Monitor required a response and here we are. So I left that with
the Kasangwawo's who do not research but just read for reading.
