Quote:

Mr Pope revealed he would not be contesting his seat due to changes in his family circumstances and a wish to try something new.

If someone had posted that on here I am sure several people would have played around with it to make it more interesting. Not me of course I never tweak quotes to make them funny :D:D

Cross dressing isn't all it's cracked up to be, I've not just been cross but absolutely livid when a button drops off my best shirt while I'm in a rush to go somewhere!

You've seen my best shirt then? (My thank's to Rindy not just for the exclusive design but for modelling it for me).

Re: Greg Pope to stand down at next election.

Am I alone in not rating Mr. Pope very highly as a constituency MP? Nothing but a career politician, couldn't hold a candle to Ken Hargreaves or Arthur Davidson.

you hit it on the head there... the reason the local Tories are happy about Greg Pope not standing next time is because he still had a fair chance of being re-elected.... they would vote for Bin Laden if he was the Tory candidate!:D

Re: Greg Pope to stand down at next election.

Just curious ....Do British MPs engage in "pork barrel politics" i.e. bringing Govt money and jobs back to their districts as a way of winning votes at the next election , a kind of 'quid pro quo' .... I'll support this bit of legislation if you do such and such for my constituancy sort of thing .
