Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?

only yesterday it was disclosed that HMRC had not bothered to chase the interest on tax debts of large companies(like Vodafone)....so it beggars belief that GJ is wittering on about some little man...

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?

Neither do I John...it makes me really sick....but if I thought I would get transported for stealing one....I might be tempted(just to steal it - not to eat it).

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?

Yes, John.......I'm sure that I read somewhere(one of the online newspapers) that even if we were offered the chance to vote on the EU, it would not be binding!
Where is the point in that eh?...

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?

I think that being 'involved' in politics is a bit different to being a politician.

Nor me.......I would never start a letter with any kind of threat.......tactics like that mean that you haven't got much of a case......certainly not one that you believe in.

I agree(in principle) with much of what you have said, but while we may not be as savvy as someone else(of course there is always someone who knows more than we do...doesn't mean we can't learn)...if...

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?

There hasn't been(to my knowledge anyway - maybe it happened while I was asleep) any country which has had a vote/referenda as to whether to stay in or leave the EU.

There have been referendums...

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?

Just evidence of more hypocrisy.
I have long held the view that the Euro question should at some stage be considered for a referendum. As Hyndburn's MP I believe the Labour Party should consider...

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?

I think, for me, what caused me the greatest concern was that Graham Jones felt that 95% of the electorate couldn't give a toss about the EU....now what I would like to know is, where did he get that...

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?

In reality, it doesn't seem that voting does make a difference.....in the main on issues that really concern the electorate, the parties do not listen....they do what they think is best for us.
