Syd Rapson
Sydney Norman John Rapson (born 17 April 1942, Isle of Wight) is a former politician in the United Kingdom.
He moved with his family to the Paulsgrove area of Portsmouth as a young child, where he attended Paulsgrove Modern (now King Richard School). After leaving school he worked in the aeronautical industry for nearly forty years until becoming Labour Member of Parliament (MP) for Portsmouth North from 1997 until he stood down at the 2005 general election. A former long serving councillor,〔Deputy Leader of the Council and Lord Mayor of the City per ''Voices from Paulsgrove''. Lee, S & Stedman, J (eds; 1992, Portsmouth City Council Leisure Department); ISBN 1-870412-15-X〕 he was succeeded by Sarah McCarthy-Fry MP. He has two children and has four grandchildren.〔(Profile ), books.google.co.uk; accessed 9 July 2014.〕
He had stronger trade union credentials than many of the 1997 intake, having spent many years as an Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union activist and convener, which also gave him the strong interest in defence, the hallmark of his parliamentary career. He joined the Commons Defence Select Committee after the 2001 election. He generally maintained a low profile around Parliament; he rarely contributed to debates and sat for four years on the low-key Accommodation and Works Committee.
Rapson appeared in the controversial TV programme ''Brass Eye'', in which he was duped into presenting a segment on "trust-me trousers", supposedly worn by paedophiles and inflated to hide an erection. Rapson was also recorded stating: "using an area of the Internet the size of Ireland, paedophiles can make your keyboard release toxic vapours that can make you more suggestible".
