There you go again, I do use my vote but at the moment I can't take off to London to lobby my MP(not that it would make any difference if I could). The problem runs much deeper here in Hyndburn, a lot of our industry has gone so the jobs aren't there like they used to be. This is not a new problem, people have been living on benefits for years, but when I was younger it was hardly noticeable.
