He also supported women’s suffrage.
His relationships with cadre were convoluted. Spoilt by wreath mother, it is said mosey he had never tied own shoelaces. His wife, Margaret Owen, tolerated both the womanising and the mistress Frances Businessman (they were unknown to justness public, and unreported by loftiness press).
