[Margaret Pilkington]

I don't think our MP fits the description of a 'career politician'. My definition of such would be the person who has done nothing other than be a politician...someone who has never had a real job and does not know the difficulties in the life of a working person.
As such they can almost( I said ALMOST) be forgiven for their short comings.

This is NOT the case with out MP. He has worked at something other than politics. I would imagine he knows what it is like to try to make ends meet, to struggle to get a mortgage...and then to pay for it. In short he has lkived the life of a working person.
That makes his treatment of us...the people of Accrington even worse. It is a betrayal of the worst kind because it is a calculated betrayal in order for him to climb the political ladder. He is prepared to walk over us to satisfy his ambitions.
