Indeed they were DPF as this mini-biog shows:


Educated at Trent College, Lloyd-Jones played for Southill Park for two seasons before joining Clapham Rovers.


He played for them for five years, with that 1880 win over Oxford University being the highlight.


?Clopton?s parents were Welsh ? his father, Charles, was known as the squire of Hanwood ? and that is why he was selected to play for Wales against England in 1885. However, he never gained his cap because he was unavailable for the match,? said Madley.


?At the time of his international selection, he was playing for Castle Blues, in Shrewsbury, who were affiliated to the FA of Wales. He hung up his boots in 1886 when the Blues voluntarily disbanded after being found guilty of violent and dangerous conduct.


?He then represented Shrewsbury on the Shropshire Amateur FA and became deputy captain of the Pengwerne Boat Club in Shrewsbury. He was also a keen cricketer, who played for Herefordshire, Shropshire and Radnorshire county XIs as well as Shrewsbury, Montgomery, Pontesbury and Abbey Foregate at club level.?


He moved from London to Shrewsbury in 1884 and set up business in the town as a bookmaker. He died from cancer of the bladder at the age of 59 and was buried in the Longden Road Cemetery in Shrewsbury.

      Marveling at the chutzpah of Brexit supporters wanging on about a 4.99% increase in council tax which equates to circa £94/year for the average Band D, whereas it's conservatively estimated* that Brexit has cost each UK household circa £1k/year.  At least with council tax there are actual tangible benefits e.g. weekly waste clearance.  *Based on BoE report 2023...

      so to summarise, "Party X is stating that Council Y is financially inefficient and saving can be realised or efficiencies made, but when the exercise has been completed, it was found that no savings were achievable". I don't know if you are trying to say that has happened or that if it does happen, that is what would happen.

      I would respectfully and strongly disagree.  they are targeting Southwark in exactly the same way they target other councils and will have exactly the same outcome  you would have to say why Southwark is the outlier here and not reform for it to be a meaningful differentiation
