Arthur Davidson helped out many I know . His legal background was a great asset.

When Ken Hargreaves beat him in that cliiff-hanger result , Ken said that he couldn't have had a better opponent .

I agree jaysay, no matter where your political allegiance lies we have benefited from some good MPs over the years. How would you rate them?

Arthur Davidson is number 1 for me .

Ken Hargreaves. 1
Arthur Davidson. 2
Greg Pope (a very distant) 3
Graham Jones, too early to pass a judgement but early signs encouraging.

Think you've got that spot on yerself

Well at least one of them got some comeuppance, personally I think he should have been sentenced to a longer stretch as I'm damn sure if it had been one of us ...... well, 2 tier justice ?

My only complaint with David Chaytor going to prison is that he didnt have company! Had everything been treated equally and with any kind of rigor, the prisons could well be left with no room imo!

It says in the Sunday Times that one of those fingered for fiddlin' was a 'northern M.P.'

Narrows it down a bit.

(To any M.P. from the northern half of the country.)
