What's our MP up to?
 

Well, Jonesy certainly has his finger on the pulse. His constituents will be really worried about his latest cause. Nevermind trivialities like a referendum on EEC membership, what about the poor old Sealyham Terrier?

From the Telegraph:

Hyndburn MP backs campaign to save rare British dog (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Some interesting comments on the article, the first one being:

"Its just a pity that you have nothing else to concentrate your efforts on then for your £70,000 plus expenses a year.
Dont bother yourself with Banking crisis, un-employment, terrorism, 3rd world famine etc etc.
& you MP's wonder why you are dis liked so much."

Bloody hell.

Must have been when I was ill.

When was the decision taken to give dogs the vote?

Still, being dumb animals, they might offer him their support.

Unlike anyone else, with half a brain.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

What a load of old baba.. the local MP don't do what 40 odd people on here wanted him to do so he gets slated for anything he might sign up for..

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Um sounds like our Graham

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Though that 40 odd make up the vast majority of Accy Web members.

Still, he's always got you.

You should try and get him to stand in Bermondsey.

Always a warm welcome for Labour there.

Well there was when it was a safe Labour seat...until Peter Tatchell stood there for Labour in 1983, and received the most appalling abuse in any by-election of the twentieth century.

Get your own dog house in order, before criticising our's.

steady rindy no point argueing some people would vote for a dog turd if it had a red rose stuck on it.

unlike some if a party or its representitive no longer acts or supports things i agree with they no longer get my vote.

It shows how far labour have fallen when labour supporters start thinking conservitives are the better option for now.Conservitives may well be the evil party but they are the lesser evil at the moment.

ps:

if we had a tory MP and that MP also screwed us over the way GJ did that MP would get just as much flack for it as well.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Hang on.. who mentioned Labour or Tory?.. not me!

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Last time I looked there were around 22,000 members..maths ain't my subject but just shows your arrogance when you make out that is a majority..and with you being a Democrat.:D

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

The vast majority of active members, interested enough to bother voting in these particular polls.

You say '40 odd'.

I say, 89%, 89%, 79% and 79%.

Like I say, he's as popular as Thatcher up here.

Since you're so impressed, ask him how he feels about having a stab in your own constituency, Bermondsey.

;)

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

22,000 members and only the poor Cock-er-nee Sparra', and the tartan tantrum, CmonEileen, offering him any support on here.

What an appallingly embarrassing position to be in.

:eek:

Rickets used to be more popular.

:rolleyes:

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Why is he so unpopular?..does he do a bad job as a local MP..or is it just because he didn't vote for a referendum?

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

As I say, shouldn't you really be campaiging for the return the safe Labour seat of Bermondsey to the fold...after nearly twenty nine years?

I can pass you Peter Tatchell's contact details, if you like.

If you think humbly apologising might help.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Theres quite a few posts on here explaining the reason, either yeh aint bothered to read em, or yeh chose not to look.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

From what you hear in shops, buses, pubs, market, streets etc, the reasons seem many and varied.

Though the greater majority seem to believe he's in the pay of his party, rather than the local people who voted he represent them.

Up his own New Labour arse, and woefully out of touch, with what the ordinary person's thinking.

In a nut shell.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

There's those close to him, who weren't keen he should stand.

More of that later.

I'll save that for nearer to an election.
