Caroline Lucas MP Discrace!!

[Domsdad]

She might be on holiday, or any other business that maybe slightly higher on the agenda than an individual tax issue. You are talking 6 working days since you sent your first email, in a busy month, I think she deserves a little bit more of a chance before she is labelled a 'disgrace'...

As Bold Seagull says.

I don't know anything about your MP but I do remember from the Falmer campaign when I wrote to my then MP for her support for an early day motion. After about 10 days or so I'd heard nothing and was complaining to all and sundry. A few days later I got a written reply where she said that she had done some investigating into our cause and was glad to support us. She did not mention, but I found out later from local press, that she had been in hospital when I wrote to her being diagnosed and treated for the cancer that later took her life. Don't be too harsh just yet, give her a few more days.

One would hope that she has the interests of one of her constituents, however I have just been given a link to her home page detailing her recent activity in Parliament!!

All stuff of course that benefits Brighton.

Good on you girl.

The good thing is she can at least ask questions. Makes no difference but at least she can ask. Thats democracy for you.

I may have got this wrong but my interpretation is that when she asked these questions it was as Leader of the Green Party, not Brighton Pavilion MP, not sure when she asks questions reating to her patch though?

 

[The Large One]

In her capacity as leader of a political party, not everything she does in parliament relates directly to Brighton.

I have written to her on various occasions, and I found her very helpful, writing on my behalf to the relevant government ministers.

Cherry-picking bits of her work doesn't represent her entire output. When someone does know what shes does more than 5% of her time, then we can blast her. I'd say the same of any MP or minister.

I wrote to Dr Lucas on a matter she is very concerned with - public transport (that's not to say she doesn't give a stuff about other issues). I got a reply after about 10 days or so, which appears to be the going rate.

What this issue has to do with party politics - as someone who tried to make out - I've no idea.

Dr lucas ?? She may well be, i have no idea but you are one hell of a pompous prat for using the title , are you going to try and work a reference to yvette cooper and her mobile phone number into this thread ?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

At least she asks questions. One of the long standing Brighton Pav MPs was Julain Amery. Asked virtually no questions, didn't give a toss about the constituents. Total abll sack of an MP.

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

Sorry to hear about this. We had a similar situation when my father died (not HMRC, but money problems which Mum wanted to ignore). Sadly, I am not surprised that this MP has failed to reply. The day sof constituency MPs being thier for their constituents appear to be long gone. The last truely brilliant constituency representative I can remember was Andrew Bowden - the Conservative for Kemptown from 1970 to 1992 (until the constituency was targeted by Labour). Was elected by people who knew him to represent them (not a party) in Westminster. Far too few of those left Chicken Run, so sad to say, I'm not surprised.

[Case for two types of MP? 350 representing consituents in parliament and 300 representing a party? Too sensible an idea!]

Not that Lucas would fall into this category, but I'm afraid that these days most MPs are controlled by their party machines. Not always the case, and I am currently reading Chris Mullin's diaries. I would probably be at odds with a large number of his political views, but a thoroughly decent, hardworking MP he undoubtedly was. When she was in government, I used to think of Tessa Jowell as a typical Blairite machine politician, but she has recently been very helpful to a friend of mine whose husband was being held in Egypt. Likewise, I am quite prepared to say that there are some odious characters in my party. As for Lucas, though, I did notice an advert for a PCS march to "defend public sector jobs" in a square in London, at which she was going to appear, just a few days after she was elected. Sure, there might be many public sector workers in Brighton, but not exactly constituency work, is it?

Just been through this mate, my Mum passed away. I called them (pension people), they told me to fill in a form which they sent me & any money owed would be calculated. It turns out we don't owe anything but to be honest they were ok to deal with.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Tim Loughton, MP for East Worthing and Shoreham, reckons that he receives approximately 200 letters, e-mails and telephone calls a day. I dare say some take a bit of time to deal with.

And I expect a high profile party leader like Caroline Lucas gets even more.

timloughton - How much does your MP cost you?

 

[The Large One]

Dr lucas ?? She may well be, i have no idea but you are one hell of a pompous prat for using the title

'Pompous Prat?' For using her title properly? I call that courtesy, not pomposity. Look the word 'courtesy' up - I suspect you need to.

You've alredy made a total prat of yourself today. Is it absolutely necessary to keep repeating that feat?

Are you going to try and work a reference to yvette cooper and her mobile phone number into this thread ?

Er... you just did. I won't bother, ta.

Very nice, post #14.

I didnt, i just told it how it is, you talk a lot of pretentious bollocks.

 

[The Large One]

In your world, Jeremy Kyle is pretentious.

Calling someone by their correct title is not pretentious. What would you have me call her? Mrs Lucas? Ms Lucas?

Give it up, mate.

 

[herecomesaregular]

clearly a frustrating situation for you and causing unnecessary extra stress/sadness to your family.

however, i really cannot understand why you would involve your local mp at this stage nor be that surprised that you don't get a quick response. people expect too much from "The Government". Basically, some individual eejet somewhere in a call centre or in data entry hasn't punched the right buttons, hardly worth complaining to her about.

You describe my Mothers situation as the foundation of a complaint, I and many others would describe it as a requiement for support, which fundimentaly is a service she and all other MP's advertise in their manifesto in a manner of speaking prior to an election, check out their home pages.

yeah but c'mon!

What would i have you call her ?? How about Caroline Lucas MP, like everyone else ?

Face it mate, you're a pretentious cock, as you've proved , time and time again .

 

[Southover Street Seagull]

I wrote to Carline Lucas on the 8th September this year about the Postal Services Bill, I didn't get the reply from her till the 4th October. She said she was going through her backlog of letters after the summer recess, perhaps she still has a big backlog?
Have you thought that she may have replied to you but the email has gone into your ISPs junk mail folder. This happens to me from time to time.

Aw, bless. Is that supposed to mean something?

Still, I'd far more be known as pretentious - especially from someone not fully understanding the word - than be, well, someone as embarrassingly and wilfully ignorant as you. If you did know the meaning, you'd also know that 'pretentious' is not the word you're looking for.

And BTW, in the context of how I was originally making my point, no - 'Caroline Lucas MP' does not read as well. 'I've written to Caroline Lucas MP on several occasions...' - appallingly naff as written English goes, especially as we've established who she is earlier on. But not fully comprehending basic written English (look at every single one of your posts), it's not surprising you're ignorant of that.
