Falmer For All Press Release - Early Day Motion Tabled in House of Commons

[Lolly]

Thank you for your email concerning EDM 889. EDMs are never debated and have little impact. I will take the matter up with the local MP for you.

Yours sincerely John Redwood

I will take the matter up with the local MP for you.

Tory tosser. Ignore the ****. The local MP has already signed it.

Wicked - cheers!!!

Bill Wiggin MP for Hereford (shadow Welsh secretary) has told me he will sign it.

I think he was taken aback by the fact that I commute from South Wales to watch Brighton play as often as I can (12 times so far this season) and he liked the "We Want Falmer" banner on Big Ben too!

E-mailed local Labour MP Win Griffiths about signing the EDM but after his last reply to me ("I will speak to my Brighton & Hove colleagues about this when Parliament returns after half term") I'm not holding my breath.

I have emailed my local MP, Charles Hendry and Nicholas Soames, as I live on the border between their constituencies. I have made great play of the fact that Charles Hendry is the Shadow Minister for Young People:

If this application is not approved, as stated in the EDM, there is a strong likelihood that the club will no longer be viable. As Shadow Minister for Young People, I am sure that you are aware this will deprive a whole generation of young people of the ability to support their local football club, including many in your constituency.

Eddie and Ex-Shelton, you might mention it also as Charles Hendry is your MP.

 

[Soton Seagull]

I have had a reply from Alan Whitehead's office. Apparently they have passed my messsage on to him. Sounds like it has been 'filed' then!

 

[Zeitgeist]

Had a reply from Peter Bottomley. His response was predictable, as he's previously stated he's an "anti." However, he has forwarded my e-mail onto Judith Kirkbride, so hopefully it's not completely in vain.

 

[Sorrel]

Is there a closing date for this EDM? I don't know how they work. I'd prefer to write to my MP, but do I have time?

 

[loco61]

i sent 12 emails to various mps with vague connections to my life story last night, was fun ....

doesnt seem to have had much effect !!

will now write to MP of my birthplace (Eastbourne)

"the future is Falmer"

[Sorrel]

Who is your MP, BTW?

He's Jim Cunningham, in Coventry South. I'll write to him (and so will my wife) tonight.

 

[Keith B Wetherill]

Though I live in Helsinki I still manage to get to home games and I have a connection to Peter Bottomly MP (Worthing) and I have urged him to sign.

 

[Brovion]

Just emailed Tony Blair. (Well he emailed me first). Worth a try!

 

[Spiros]

Had a reply from Peter Bottomley. His response was predictable, as he's previously stated he's an "anti." However, he has forwarded my e-mail onto Judith Kirkbride, so hopefully it's not completely in vain.

I've e-mailed Bottomley as well but not yet had a reply. Not holding my breath though

 

[Cadman]

Emailed both my MPs Howard Flight (Arundel and South Downs).

I've Emailed Howard Flight too. I've not seen him since he came to our village pub looking for votes at the last election.

 

[Brixtaan]

The early day motion is the most positive thing that's happened in months.
Feeling much more upbeat now thanks to those Labour MP references,though may have ruined it with mine due to 'Angry of Tooting' style letter.
