lol how the fuck did Wikipedia’s editors let this self serving bullshit fly

Streeting’s two grandfathers, both named Bill, were key figures in his youth. His maternal grandfather, Bill Crowley, was acquainted with the infamous East End Krays. He was “really well-read and well-informed”, and engaged his grandson in lively discussions about religion and politics. Streeting’s paternal grandfather served in the Second World War in the Royal Navy and later in the merchant navy before becoming a civil engineer. He recalled: “He was the grandad I was closest to. He was a traditional working-class Tory.”
