I think that when I were a lad the Primrose League was still going,

"The Primrose League was an organization for spreading Conservative principles
amongst the British democracy, founded in 1883 and active until the 1960s" says www.searchword.org/pr/primrose-league.html

while "PRIMROSE LEAGUE, THE, an organization for spreading Conservative principles amongst the British democracy. The primrose is associated with the name of Lord Beaconsfield (q.v.), as being preferred by him to other flowers" says http://38.1911encyclopedia.org/
P...\\_LEAGUE\\_THE.htm


Two sources with but a single bizarre usage.

Incidentally, Benjamin Disraeli was born into Judaism but converted to Christianity, so he was a "Jew for Jesus". This was probably because Jews were barred from Parliament, along with Catholics.
