Stan Gebler Davies
Stanley Gebler Davies was an Irish journalist with the Irish Independent as well as with various British magazines. Of part-Polish and part-Jewish ancestry, Davies was known for his eccentric views and for his exceptional alcohol intake. In the late 1970s the Evening Standard printed his pithy, 50-word apercus among their longer items; he was also permitted to call Hans Keller a 'twat' on the letters pages of The Listener. As well as his writing, he engaged in political activity, having been a Unionist candidate for the constituency of Cork South-West, coming last with 134 votes. He died after a long battle with lung cancer.
