I'm angry!
So, out of 522 votes cast, our MP has voted against his party 3 times, those 3 have been insignificant procedural questions. He's been majorly sucking up by doing the counting in too many parliamentary votes to mention (he's the parliamentary equivalent of a milk monitor).
He blindly toes the party line regardless of public opinion, constituents opinion or downright common sense. In every film you have ever seen where there is a stereotype 'yes man'..that's our MP!
Since he's been elected, he's said nothing of value in the house, he constantly asks predictably unanswerable and obtuse questions, nailed his colours to Ed (call me Margaret) Millibands faltering flag and he's jumped on every available populist bandwagon (except the ones that matter). He's been focused on metal theft and lately fixed odds betting terminals, which have very little relevance to the majority of his constituents.
He slammed Newcastle football club for having Wonga as a sponsor, but he's been deathly quiet about the new Rovers stand sponsor.
His latest tirade...'Elephant Abuse Circus Owner Found Guilty....and Tories won't ban wild animals in circus's'....(I have one single question about that..what did the last Labour government do about banning wild animals in 'circuses'?)
Not one single tweet/apology about his mates ripping off the taxpayer with underhand house swaps. Not one single tweet as to where he stands on rip-off MP's! (Note..Graham Jones expense claims have been exemplary to say the least)
Oh, and he boasts about how Hyndburn council is paying it's employees the 'living wage', (all funded by the taxpayer of course)..but fails to mention that many employers in the private sector can barely afford to pay the minimum wage thanks to the screwups made by the bankers (that his party thought so highly of when they were in government).
I'm not even going down the 95% road.....
I'm angry because his latest attack (the Elephant), is such a predictable attempt at point scoring, which is so predictable to anyone who watched Graham Jones in council meetings.
I'm angry because the attack is so ill thought out and open to counter argument, which is so typical of the current generation of Labour MP's
I'm angry..because I'm a socialist, and Graham Jones so obviously isn't, no matter what the election pamphlets lead you to believe!
I'm angry..because even though Cameron and Clegg are hugely unpopular, with hugely unpopular policies, Milliband has absolutely nothing to offer as an alternative except a deeper involvement with the EU, and is therefore unelectable!
I'm angry because the trough eating cowards in parliament dare not add 'none of the above' as a valid candidate in the next elections and continue to ride roughshod over the will of the people.
But even though I'm angry....I despair!
