I still fail to see how an Oxford education would improve Graham's ability to fight the corner for Hyndburn. He is erudite and knowledgeable about the things which are pertinent to his position as MP for this borough so why would a classical education be of any significance? If anything, a percieved 'Oxford toff' probably wouldn't have been voted in.

As far as Hyndburn concerned your spot on Ken, I'd sooner see a Local Labour MP than a Tory outsider, that's why I abstained at the General in May
