Part time MP's

Part-time MPs don't deserve to be pampered

On Thursday, he may join the Parliamentary rush-hour away from Westminster, there being little business on Friday.
Nor should we forget that most of the rules and regulations governing our lives are made in Brussels.
But most of those voters' problem are local and can be handed over to councillors.

Or a member may simply pass on a voter's problem to one of those paid assistants (or relatives) provided through the public purse.

Why has Andrew Alexander tried to steal my thunder?

Convincing the public that if an MP writes to the local Health Authority, he/she is only doing their duty is remarkable.

What makes matters worse is if, as in Blackpool, you have ineffectual Parliamentary representation, it is compounded by totally useless councillors. Much of the problem solving is local and should be undertaken by Councillors. Not so long ago,a former serviceman was working but could not find affordable accommodation. It took three years of pestering and cajoling before the Council could find habitable space for this disabled person, injured in the line of duty. Yet all around, DSS fraudsters duped the system and lived purely by their own rules. Couples open co-habitat at the tax payers expense. If you complain you are hit with the homophobia/race card. How come health young lesbians can afford taxis for every journey when truly disabled people have to use a bus pass? And anyone who had ventured down Horsebridge road can see flats barricaded against the police, yet vulnerable older people have to live in the same block as the thieving, drug pushing scum.

One answer, from this useless Labour regime, was to form Arms Length Management committees. What good is any official, committee or organisation if you cannot get in touch with them? Yes, NONE. That has been my experience with a high number of the present Conservative Council. Most cannot even reply to a simple request for help for a needy constituent. And now two councillors want funding to go to Rwanda, a country that has no historical association with Britain with the exception is that it takes from Charities. The late, great Ian Smith must be roasting Gods ears for allowing the stupid to over influence the knowledgeable.
