Are death threats not a police issue? No reflection on your name here but have the police time; should you have posted a death threat here do they have the time to look into that? It was posted on a far larger forum and the forum did nothing about it so that was why I contacted my M P.

As an example say and again no reflections on anyone; I posted the death threat at you as stannaccywiz you complain and are told to deal with it and sent a note from say missusjaywalker who as far as you know has no connection at all with stannaccywiz so you ask and your question is ignored.

I did contact the police. Then I went on asking and was threatened with dismissal for keep asking so when later I asked about another topic; one that should have been something that charity should have been concerned about they ignored those emails; so I emailed again to more than one person; then I asked the web editor; then I posted on the boards. What more could I do? I did what I thought could help; I asked an M P who I thought would not be as ignored as I had.

This was a site for carers; I am a carer and that site showed not one scrap of concern as to how a death threat could have effected me. They had no idea what the state of my mental heath was; I could have been a depressive and a death threat the final straw that drove me over the edge into death.

So if you don’t know carers have one of the highest incidents of depression there is and as such that should have been in the minds of that charity and a death threat dealt with in a different way than saying “get over it; here’s a note from me granny”.

Well Im sorry to hear that Greg is standing down. I think you will be losing one hell of a good MP with him going.
Ive known Greg for many years like most folk on here and I would just like to wish him well in what ever he decides to do next.
Good luck GP . and I hope you get someone as good as him to follow on .

I like Greg a lot, I think he's been good for the area. I suspect that Labour will probably lose next time unless they put up an extra special candidate - mmmm, where did I put my Labour Party membership form?

Oh God no.

You versus Peter again would be like the film Rocky remakes.

They should have just stuck to the original head to head tussle, and not bothered with the bouts of the subsequent sequels.

:eek::D:eek:

Just a minute, a few days ago you wanted to leave the labour party now you are claiming that Greg is standing down so that you can represent us?

No wonder I get confused with politics, what a great sacrifice he is making just to keep one Labour party member!
:cool:;)

I think Neil made a quite valid reply to your original post Webglynn, any death threat should be reported to the police, and I talk from experience. I can't really see what you hoped to achieve in contacting Greg on this issue as with every will in the world I don't think that any member of parliament would be able to help with this kind of problem, it was definitely a police matter
