[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I emailed my MP, Sir John Redwood about it this morning and got some cut and past drivel as a response. I know it was a cut and past, because it answered none of my questions.

Does not change my opion of him anyway as I always thought he was a **nt.

Sir, you are a fine judge of character

Write to your MP especially if your MP is a Conservative the PM must resign, enough is enough, unless we the public express our views nothing will change

Been there, done that. I would be better off talking to the dead cat than Nus Ghani.

I emailed Mims Davies about the Patterson thing the other week and basically got the Nuremberg defence in reply so what's the point.

Allegra Stratton resigning. There's a surprise.

Did she go or was she pushed?

Everyone else is to blame where Johnson is concerned.

The point is, that whilst your MP will send you a stock reply or ignore you altogether, the greater the number of outraged constituents that write to them about a subject, the more likely they are to fear for their own seat or majority and actually do something.

because that is how you can engage with your MP, register the disent for them first hand. or you can just wait to put a X in the box.

 

[Codner's Wallop]

Stratt-on Shat-on - and too bloody right….

 

[Lever]

Me too, with the same outcome.

Since 2015 on no occasion on any topic has that woman voted against government lines. I assume she believes absolutely, in every debate, they represent her own considered opinion and the best interests of her constituents

What can you do with someone like that? A sycophant of the highest order......

Allegra Stratton resigning. There's a surprise.

She'll probably get a nice pay off on the quiet

do not worry. It is a football forum and my username is not obvious of gender. My unconscious bias asumes people who post on here are male as well, so I will not get upset when other posters do that to me. If it did I would change my account to "femalegull" or something that helps out other posters.

 

[sparkie]

You have more faith than me.

A simple "Yes" or "No" would answer the question.

 

[Lever]

She'll probably get a nice pay off on the quiet

...and hopefully a sense of regret and shame; probably not though.

Thank you. It was not difficult to realise. Unfortunately the people of wokingham would vote for a broom if it had a blue rossette on it. To be fair I would prefer a broom as it has some use.

My MP is James Gray, Wiltshire. He always replies to my complaints but NEVER engages in a proper discussion. He is a Boris flag-waver and his replies show no chink in the Tory armour of arrogance. Writing to him has proven a waste of time in his safe Tory seat I'm not a party voter: I have voted for all the main parties over my decades - it depends who I think is the least worst option for the next 5 years.
But I will write one more time before putting his weekly email reports on ignore.

Good idea.

I've never written my MP before but I think a brief to the point letter about how furious I am about the partying in Downing Street while the rest of us were forbidden is most appropriate. I'll email him today.

bless her...in tears* as she gave that statement outside her rather posh abode.

*tears of self pity I'd guess rather than regret and shame

 

[lawros left foot]

Especially as he is no longer even a member of the Labour Party.

He is still a member of the Labour Party, but he has had the whip withdrawn.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

I'm fully expecting this bloke to turn up at the next press conference.

I sincerely doubt it.
