Letter received today from Conservative MP for Weaden - f***ing bad news

[Brixtaan]

Bastard. He really enjoyed writing that letter. You can almost feel the smug grin he had on his face when he wrote it. Or, more probably, dictated it.

...that unique smugness that only a Tory MP can convey.It's definitely there

 

[Superseagull]

Political blackmail by the Tory party - not a great surprise really! I'm sure the Argus may want to follow up this letter.

 

[Superphil]

And a copy to Martin Perry/Dick Knight

 

[Gazwag]

Would it be best to let the club see a copy of the letter and let them decide how best to publicise it?

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

It's too early to say for sure of course. We still have the new inquiry to go though but you can't help but be depressed by this. I wonder which Labour MP's he talked to? If they were from Sussex then this looks like very bad news. This must go to the club and to Caplin.

Either:

a)Someone with inside info

Or:

b) A desperate Tory on a wind up hunting for votes

I reckon b) but the mere fact he'll do this means -

let's get him!

Address? Email address?
Phone number?

Your right. I don't like this particular piece of bad news at all.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Where, roughly speaking, is Wealden?

 

[Albion Dan]

Chances are he didnt talk to any Labour MPs. If anyone was in the know it would be Ivor Caplin and youd be very dissapointed if he thought we had no chance, and that at least the club would be tipped off.

I think this is just a tory MP being a prick, he has obviously spoken to Baker who has already said he thinks that Prescott is waiting till after the election, and trying to stir it up a bit for Labour.

 

[WATF0RD ZERO]

Don't know why he'd resort to electoral blackmail, he's certain to win Wealden next year no matter what. The Tories would win Wealden if they fielded a douche bag as it's candidate.

They have, and he will


BUT IT IS NOT BAD NEWS

he is a TORY MP FFS it is only electoral bullshit. However it can't do any harm forwarding it to Prescott, Blair and the club.

 

[Brixtaan]

He must be eradicated.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Everyone - especially people connected with politicians - seems to expect the decision to be politically motivated.

How about the alternative scenario? It'll be a planning decision, based on planning criteria. And it will be YES, because there's no other suitable site available.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

You should also get this to the Argus' and BBC SCR news desks asap. This has the makings of a good little story... stadium scuppered by Prescott before new Inquiry, due process etc ? that type of thing,

good call

 

[Ex Shelton Seagull]

Bear in mind that Hendry signed the petition in favour of Falmer. This was after he changed his original anti-stadium position.

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

OK - I'll get on the case to Knight, Perry, (Caplin ) & JP/TB.

I was wondering if it would be such a good idea to send it to the Argus, Sussex Express & the Crowborough edition of the Courier?

I'll calm down first. If I had a cat, I'd hoof it one.

(Just kidding about the cat)

 

[Ernest]

And why did Caplin quit as an MP ?

 

[JJ McClure]

Where, roughly speaking, is Wealden?

Uckfield, Crowborough and all that sort of area.

 

[looney]

Firstly....

"If labour are re-elected".

Give the man some credit! If he said when labour win there would be a national scandal of "Tory concedes election" proportion.

Secondly as Politicians are all bullshitters is it not possible that that 2jags is bullshitting his backbenchers? Hardly a new concept.
Its on NT land, labourists tend to be or pretend to be Greenish so it could be comfort words.

Last I heard from my spy was that they were looking for ways to say yes. I'll mail him for an update.
