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."

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

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.

;)

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

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.

;)

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Ah I see..this is a local forum for local people.. there's nothing for me here! :rolleyes:

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

No, of course you're welcome here.

You're like a breath of cosmopolitan, putrid air.

Incidentally where you living in Bersondsey in 1983?

Or were you still on your way down there, with the other marchers from Jarrow?

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Remember the old days?

When I used to message you, pleading with you to sometimes button it, fearing you were harming Labour's chanches in Hyndburn?

Well I was wrong.

You're doing a sterling job.

Carry on, just as you are.

;)

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

No I was still in Accy.. after being made redundant twice in two years I moved to London in 85'.. by the by the local MP was Ken Hargreaves who did nothing while his Government ransacked and destroyed the local manufacturing industry of Accrington.. but I'm sure he is a much loved by the "majority" of Accy web. :D

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

What a shame you missed it.

After some of your little outbursts on here, you'd have enjoyed joining in the vile attacks against Tatchell.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Yeah, all through that terrible time, and Hyndburn kept returning a Conservative M.P.

Odd, what folks'll do.

Happily I wasn't one of them.

Still, at least they did some good.

On yer bike, and look for work, said Tebbit.

Off pedalled Mancie.

Like a demented E.T., with just his dreams, and a big finger, to keep him warm.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Attacks by who?..and why would I have joined in? :confused:

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Oh the romance!..but no it was National Express from behind Peel St.. £5 one way.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Thank goodness you didn't have enough for a return.

:rolleyes::D

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

I know most get wiped, but do you really not remember?

My, it must be strong stuff, that paint stripper.

You should perhaps drink it with a little ice.

;)

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

After reading Manc's quoted post, would think that's the best £5 he's ever spent, what was Hyndburn's gain was Bermondsey's loss;)

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Ed Milliband has a Sealyham Terrier. It's a good lapdog and its name is Graham.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

What is it with Hyndburn Labour MP's and obscure animal campaigns? First Greg Pope with human rights for goldfish, now GJ with this ratting dog nonsense. As has already been pointed out; does he really have so little with which to occupy his time?

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

next on the list is guide humans for blind dogs :D

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

I think I can agree with this. After all he is merely trying to preserve a particular breed ... t'aint like dogs are an endangered species. I would be fully in favor of an MP, any MP whatever party he represented, acting against animal cruelty ... but this issue isn't remotely like this.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Is it true that his dog's name is Euro?

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

I've heard it only drinks Evian water, and eats a particular type of pâté de foie gras.

The pampered pouch's dietary costs will presumably rocket, once we finally break free from the E.U.'s grasp.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

I wish people would come and see what we do. 99% of the time has been spent on housing and metal theft. These other issues are not as important.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Quite a few wish M.P.s would explain changes of mind.:rolleyes:

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

So Europe isn't important then, at the moment its affecting the lives of every man woman and child in this country and your saying its not as important:mad:

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Oh, believe me, we do keep an eye on what you do Graham. And viewed from up here, it aint that impressive pal. The BBC Parliament channel is as close as most of us can stomach.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Well judging by todays European Court of Human Rights Ruling,
BBC News - Abu Qatada wins Jordan deportation appeal
I would have thought that Europe is very important. Would have been nice to see our MP representing his constituents. I wonder if he has a opinion on this.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

The democratically elected British government want him deported, but thanks to the faceless morons who now rule over us, on mainland Europe, the terrorist supporter is here to stay.

Even more galling are these facts...

'He is currently being held at Belmarsh prison at a cost to Britain of £70,000-a-year while his family is believed to be living in an £800,000 house, raking in benefits worth around £50,000 a year.'
I'm quite sure 95% of Britons will supprt this decision, imposed on us by our European puppet masters.

Three cheers for Europe!

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Well no doubt Graham will be along to tell us what a wonderful and valuable job the European Court does for the people of this country, maybe they will pay the upkeep on him and his brood. Its always baffled me why some body who hates everything about Britain and the decadent west, is quite happy to let the same people keep them from taxes paid by people he hates so much:rolleyes:

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Just to clarify matters .

In Zurich in 1946 Sir Winston Churchill called for a "kind of United States of Europe" and the creation of a Council of Europe .

The Council of Europe was founded in 1949 by the Treaty of London .

The Council of Europe , with all of its 47 member states , adopted the European Convention on Human Rights .

This Convention established the European Court of Human Rights .

It is an entirely separate body from the European Union .

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

That being the case, whats the problem with the U.K. saying stick it?:confused:By the way J.C.B. Ta fer the clarification.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Fair enough, JCB.
But I am more concerned about the victims of 7/7 and 9/11.
As Clint Eastwood/ Dirty Harry once said' I'm all shook up about his civil rights'

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Do the people in this country not have rights too, why should the tax payer keep this guy and his brood when none of them have put a red cent into the pot, we have rights too:mad:

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

THe problem is lack of guts from our politicians, both Tory and Labour.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Churchill.

Good war time leader, but also capable of being a total buffoon.

I'm with my great grandfather on this one. After the cruel and stupid actions he exhibited towards the workers, in the Great Strike.

This issue isn't unconnected with our membership of the E.U.

Britain should be in charge ot it's own destiny. As it has successsfully in the past, century, after century.

We never voted as a people, to have our democratically elected government be overruled by some greater European super power.

Our government want this man out, as do the vast majority of the people of this country.

We don't want idiots on mainland Europe, telling us what to do, and proclaiming that this arse is staying here, and we'll pay for the privilege.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

I am heartily sick of reading stuff about these people who leech of the state....and sick of reading that our lily livered politicians do nothing concrete about it.
Would France put up with his antics? Would they keep him in prison at vast costs to the tax payer.....and keep his brood sat about claiming money from the communal pot(which as Jaysay observes, they have contributed nothing)? I think the answer to both of those questions would be a big fat NO.

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

JCB is right of course but Russia, although a signatory, has objected to many of the European Courts rulings which said Russia was in breach and I believe they got away with it. The Russian Courts said something like Russia was protected from European Court decisions which affected Russian security or sovereignty.
If the Russians have ruled that and got away with it why can't we?

Just a point- the European Court has said if it has confirmation that evidence obtained by torture will not be used in his trial there is no reason why he can't be extradited to Jordan-so go for it, Theresa !

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Britain has lost three out of four cases taken to the European Court of Human Rights, new figures have shown.

'...today’s report concluded that “few courts have exploited” the ambiguity that such laws have created, than the Strasbourg-based court.'

Ya but think of the pluses Rindi, its keeping Mrs Blair in the lifestyle she has come to expect, all the fine trappings of, well what Mancie would call, a Toff, whilst maintaining she still classes herself as a socialist, pass another bottle of Bollinger please:rolleyes:

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Champagne Charlie was a Victorian invention -born 100 years before Tony.

Pass the bubbles please :D

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Champagne socialist were invented in the 80s with the likes of Derek Hatton swanning around Liverpool in taxies giving out redundancy notices out to council staff, as pointed out by Kinnockeo at a Labour Party Conference, and its grown steadily since then :rolleyes:

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Hey, Graham Jones spotted on TV today. Going on about metal theft. This is what he looks like if you haven't seen him before.
BBC News - London 2012: Metal theft could disrupt Olympic travel according to MPs

Apparently metal theft is at it's highest levels since Gordon Brown sold off the gold reserves in the 1990s (according to the Daily Mail).

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

Yes It is a bit rich Labour talking about metal theft.:eek::D:D

Re: What's our MP up to?
 

hahahaha metal theft delaying trains thats almost as priceless as leaf on the tracks.Is there anything they wont blame .Unless teh tracks are been stolen or teh trains themselves i cant see a few meters of copper wire going missing from a works yard making a train run late ;)

ps:

if anyone wants to know what milliband looks like haveing his arse licked ...
