[Margaret Pilkington]

What Nicola means is that we have lots of discussions....political and otherwise....it was she who 'bigged' this man up to me.
Telling me he was a down to earth chap....someone who had held down a job of work in the real world....knew what the worries and anxieties of the local people were....because he knew many of them....lived in Hodder street at the time.....all the things you would imagine would make him perfect as a local MP.

How wrong we all were. I feel doubly duped by our MP....I expected better.
I fell duped by the people who govern us, for the promises they made.
'no deal better than a bad deal' rings in my ears.
Yet here they are about to vote in a deal that will NOT see us leaving...but being tied in to an organisation that is corrupt and undemocratic.

Well, at least I am at the bum end of my life.
