All The Best To You Graham

[g jones]

And as I said at the top, an inquiry is important so why the long political thread? Ridiculous to be honest.

Not getting in a row about bedtime either but mum and daughter had just arrived back. She's doing very very well at school. Sorry but its just courtesy and appreciation that's required, not a lot. Not politics.

Graham, you only find it ridiculous because it is critical of your handling of things.
It took you quite a while to tell us what your thoughts were.......and because your name was not on the list of MP's who supported the call for an inquiry it created some alarm.
You cannot dodge politics, it is the job you are in and you should be thankful that people like me take an interest.( a lot of people have been 'turned off' anything remotely political)

As for the aside about bedtime...that is all it was...an aside.....I don't do rows.

Courtesy and appreciation is a two way street.......have you heard of 'mirroring'?

What long political thread?

All I've seen so far is you ducking under everything you have been asked!

You even try to divert the topic by saying you went off to put your child to bed!

Then, you have one of your usual goes because someone bit and mentioned the time.

Consider this Oh great one, dirty pervs of all professions are waking children up from their innocent sleep, just to have their evil way, probably as you were putting your child to bed.

Your child is precious, all children from everywhere are precious.
If there is one thing you could do to bring me over to saying Graham Jones is worth my vote, forget grids, forget malaria, PROTECT ALL CHILDREN.

You have ignored what has been said, or you've tried to twist it.

Now is your chance to prove you are a caring and responsible MP, all children need protecting not just our own, what will you do about it?

(This was posted by someone concerned about children, not interested in Having, children. (sic) Can we have a local MP with similar Ideas?).

Oh, and just by the way Graham, it wasn't me who brought your child into this thread....it was YOU.
You need not have done that...it was totally unnecessary. You could just have said that you had something that needed your attention.
Like Less, I think it was done as a diversionary tactic.....not a great way to go....and ill considered in the circumstances.

It seems that are also described as 'dirt books' and this is an article describing how they are used.

Our MP is a whip so he is likely aware of which MPs have mucky secrets.

His responses make no mention of this devious practice, yet he is a labour whip.
I would like to know if he has participated in any cover up.

If he gave me such a convoluted answer to my question Margaret......can you imagine the fun he will have with your question?

Now that is silly, we can't get straight answers to simple questions, he's so much above us these days.
If he is guilty of cover up for someone (which is as bad as committing the crime yourself), even ripping his toe nails out won't bring him to divulge even 5% of anything he may know (ooh look 5% isn't that the inverse of 95%?).
Looks to me like Graham Skybaulker has sold himself completely to the dark side, the only time we'll know if he has involved himself is if it's better for the party to sell him down the river rather than have any real truth passed on to the electorate.

As there is a public meeting this afternoon,at Charter House about the situation in Gaza, I wonder if all Hyndburns Palestinians have been notified? This meeting obviously precedes the one about moving Hyndburns Bus station?

Let me guess how it went - those in Gaza were in the right and the Israelis were all to blame

Oh Neil...you are just too clever. You should be an MP.

he took the test to be a MP but failed by %95

i personally think it was rigged but no idea who by

[g jones]

I've spoken at length about the bus station over many years. I called for the new station to be on the current side of town.

Just because I agree to do an event, post a tweet or the papers give a story prominence doesn't automatically make it my priority.
