Re: All The Best To You Graham
Less. Post your address and I'll come around. Let's see what your made of! I am sure the hot air on here will be deflated somewhat. Get your neighbours around for a brew and Q&A??? Lets see how many real friends you have?

A politicians definition of deflating 'somewhat'...that would be ignoring the actual question 'somewhat'..not much point in organising a Q&A if you ain't going to answer....
Graham Jones MP Feb 11
UKIP driving around Wythenshawe in a foreign car (painted UKIP purple) and talking about British jobs.
Levets Feb 11
please let me know which British cars you would suggest then. This will be interesting
Graham Jones MP
Britain makes cars employing 10,000's of British workers. Just not Renault...
Levets Feb 11
what like Vauxhall, Ford, Rover, Mini ... We make 'foreign' cars yes! Name a mass produced British car?
Graham Jones MP Feb 11
Labour's car scrapage scheme saved UK automotive jobs. UKIP buy French cars.
Levets Feb 11
typical politician... Off at a tangent! I asked you to name a British car he could of chosen? You can't!
[end twitter quotes]
Its only an aimless post if it doesn't hit a target..in this case it obviously did

I had no idea we had a Malaria problem here in Hyndburn......... I will need to get a new malaria net and stock up on some more insect replenent with DEET in it....
Seriously though, I have lived and worked in parts of Africa saddled with Malaria, it is nice to see our MP taking time to look at this, there are no problems in Hyndburn, the Arndale is always busy, Whitebirk Retail Park is booming and of course there is little or no unemployment in Hyndburn or any local issues that need his input.
It is good to know our MP is doing such a great job.

I am quite frankly surprised at how little you know about your borough and what is happening.
Graham suggests helpfully starting the morning with a stiff coffee. It helps you stay awake and alert.

I'm only having a coffee if i can claim it back on expenses

Graham you are full of it, what has meeting you, or counting my 'friends', (good grief, your acting like a child on face book) have to do with me no longer considering you fit for purpose?
Every time you come on site you manage to do the impossible, that is disappoint me even further.
You didn't read the thread and reply with a witty or accurate defence of your malaria news bite.
You instead ignored that and used a planets worth of juvenile hot air yourself, is this really how a competent MP should display himself on the WWW? I don't think so, do you?

Re: All The Best To You Graham
No, it isn't how an MP should conduct himself...certainly not OUR MP.
And in post 16 he is using semi threat to demean a member....perhaps he learned this technique to keep other Labour MP's under control......typical whip behaviour.....juvenile.
I am disappointed.Not for the first time either

Not quite true Margaret, post 16 wasn't a threat just another example of why I won't be voting for him next time if indeed Labour actually choose him as a candidate (of course they will).
I had great hopes when I voted for him in the last election, but broken promises and his attitude towards the common man leave a great deal of regret for having put trust in this politician.

Re: All The Best To You Graham
I wonder why he's only been 'liked' three times out of 1,104 posts? Just a thought.

Perhaps because his party's biggest fan C'mon rarely comes out of the Tory thread to read anything that isn't posted by him?

Re: All The Best To You Graham
I think our MP has forgotten his roots and has had his head turned by the lights of the big city.
His repsonses will certainly not make him any friends on here, or influence the people who might once have voted for him.
But then I guess he is Ok with that 95% of us don't really appreciate politics anyway(?)
