You can't link to exact moment but, Starting at 16:11:50 , while Stephanie Peacock is talking about the Armed forces bill -- SDLP Colum Eastwood takes the stage and gives a name. under parliamentary privelage. Now it's public record.

This is kinda a thing. F's been anonymous for a long time.

In truth, it's actually not that hard to find. It seems he even got himself Gazetted for it. Anyone who would want to 'use' the name probably already knew it before today --- but the real advantage of anonymity is all the others who share the same name who had nothing to do with the event. It's a common enough name, after all.

But one is forced to wonder. If we can arrest old Nazis, why not old Paratroopers?
