I remember Raisbecks white bus with the green stripe, it was a Bedford and the bonnet did stick out in front, I was returning home from school must have been 1957/8 and just as we were comming down Beech Grove on of thr rear wheels came off,It happened just opposite a shop you may or may not remember, Deefie Thomsons who would sell you one woodbine and give you a match to light it. All the best Norman

Well the ones that do meet with they voters may get a knife in the guts. Well in certain London areas that is. Thats probably an aberration I hope. Anyway yes it would be good if your local MP wasnt just a puppet for their party. Just there to make up the numbers. I mean it should be a part time job for 5 years max. Most take second jobs. So it cannot be that taxing. And wouldnt be if your mind was made up for you by your party and all you had to do was rock up and toe the party line on every vote. Most MP's stick with the status quo in my eyes, Labours very guilty of it up in this neck of the woods. You could call them conservative in that respect. The industial days are gone and what do they stand for now, dishing out local government posts like sweets. Well looks like they're for the chop. If our MPs actually sratched their heads a bit more rather than there arses we might get a bit of PROGRESS* around here - - - * the new buzz word.

b.o.ll.i.c.k.s to brussels! could not agree more but voting for UKIP wont solve the problem as thay will not win the election. There must be someone out there that can start a new political party that acts in the interest of the country and not in the interests of career driven MPs.
