Reg Race
Denys Alan Reginald Race (born 23 June 1947) is a British Labour politician.
Parliamentary career
He unsuccessfully contested the Conservative-held constituency of Ruislip-Northwood at the February 1974 general election and again at the October 1974 general election.
At the 1979 general election, Race was elected as Member of Parliament for the Wood Green constituency in the London Borough of Haringey. The constituency was abolished for the 1983 general election.
In 1982, Race earned the dubious distinction of being the first MP ever to utter the word "fuck" on the floor of the House when referring to adverts for prostitutes reading "Phone them and fuck them". Hansard recorded it as "f*** them", but the Speaker deprecated even that version.
After Parliament
For the 2001 general election, Race was selected as Labour candidate for the Chesterfield constituency on the retirement of its MP, Tony Benn. Race came second to the Liberal Democrat candidate Paul Holmes.

Only Reminds Me Of You
by: Rick PriceOnly Reminds Me Of You
MYMP
I see you, beside me
Its only a dream
A vision of what used to be
The laughter, the sorrow
Pictures in time
Fading to memory
How could I ever let you go
Is it too late to let you know
[chorus]
I try to run from your side
But each place I hide
It only reminds me of you
When I turn out all the lights
Even the night
It only reminds me of you
I needed my freedom
This what Ive thought
But I was a fool to believe
My heart lied while you cried
Rivers of tears
But I was too blind to see
Everything weve been through before
Now it means so much more
[repeat chorus]
Only you
So come back to me
Im down on my knees
Boy cant you see
How could I ever let you go
Is it too late to let you know
