  John Poulson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Poulson came from a strict Methodist family and inherited a strong faith which stressed the importance of self-help.
Poulson was sacked from this company when it was taken over in 1932, because of his tendency to get the elevations of designs he was working on the wrong way round.
It swiftly became apparent that Poulson was at the centre of a massive corruption scandal and in July 1972 the Metropolitan Police began an investigation for fraud.

 National Liberal Party (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However he was undermined by the willingness of other Liberals such as Sir John Simon to continue to support the National Government and even take the vacant offices to ensure it retained a broad party base.
In their last years, the party was used by corrupt architect John Poulson as a way into politics while not being fully committed to the Conservatives.
Poulson, who was Chairman of the National Liberal Council's Executive Committee from 1964, had little political skill and his speeches were written by a Scottish Office civil servant George Pottinger who was on his payroll.

Poulson served as a deacon for John Paul's first Easter Vigil at the Vatican, where he was a seminarian.
Pope John Paul II has affected the lives of millions of people during his 25 years as head of the Roman Catholic Church, and many people believe he will be remembered for a litany of service to humankind.
John Paul remarked this month that he has built up a preferential dialogue with youngsters from the beginning of his papacy, and he said the response of those people has been encouraging.

 KNUTSFORD GILCHRIST
He clearly died just before the birth of his daughter Sarah Ann POULSON in 1841, which meant that Ann was now a widow, heavily pregnant, living with her 83 year-old father and with no means of support.
Her father died in 1847 and this seems to have been the catalyst for her marrying the father of her next two children (John Poulson, born 1846, and Elizabeth Wood Poulson, born 1848), who was James WOOD, a shoemaker.
John POULSON became known as "John WOOD" and married Martha BURGESS in 1870.

 Guardian | John Cordle
When John Cordle, who has died aged 92, became the Conservative MP for Bournemouth East and Christchurch in 1959, he seemed to be set for life.
Meanwhile, at the beginning of the 1960s, he was mounting attacks on divorce and discipline in the home, and advocating a decisive approach to juvenile delinquency.
This was just an early leak from the lengthy Poulson investigation, which resulted in the jailing of Poulson, Newcastle councillor and regional power broker T Dan Smith, and several civil servants.
