DQ’s: Were you an industrialist? Were you an author? IQ: Are you a fictional Wisconsin redhead of the 1950’s?

Well Great Britain is a Commonwealth country, right? So Ramsay McDonald technically fits the bill. (Although if you think it was cheesy, I’ll forego the DQ - I thought Ramsay was Canadian when I posed the question…) DQ - Was your company a media company? (If you think the IQ was valid.) ---
