I wondered if it might be a struggle, keeping it going until the next General Election.
Obviously not.

Whoosh.
Right over your head.
Did you leave your sense of humour behind, when you heeded Tebbit's advice and got on your bike, to seek your fortune on the golden paved streets of London?
That sad state of affairs aside, back to Graham Jones, his hypocrisy, and betrayal...

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?
Taken from a speech the hon. member for Hyndburn made yesterday
'I am afraid, his Government, and they are impacting severely on my constituents, who are deeply worried. It should come as no surprise to him that, in my local authority area and in neighbouring areas, people at polling stations only two weeks ago rejected the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties and voted Labour. He must be deeply concerned about that, because he cannot say that the voters are wrong; he must listen to them and to their concerns.'
Ooooo...the hypocrisy

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?
trying to take the mote out of someones eye when you have a boulder in your own cannot be easy.
But Aren't all politicians hypocrites and prone to put their own spin on things(is 'spin' a euphemism for lying?)

Graham Jones does listen.
He started a poll about the referendum on here, the very day they voted on it.
He listened.
Sadly it wasn't what he wanted to hear.
So he voted with his party.
Rather than what the constituents he's paid to represent clearly wanted.

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?
He's just used the people of Hyndburn to enhance his own political ambitions, now he's got where he wants to be he sure as hell ain't gone let those same people ruin his ambitions of being a political high flyer

Even the best whores eventually lose their appeal, and find themselves traded in, for those now seen as being more attractive.
It's a tough career choice.

True.
One minute you're a high-class Westminster hooker.
The next, you're back chalkin' the price in shillings, on the bottom of your Tommy Ball's specials.
Not so bad.
As long as you remember to snip the string between your cut-price tart's trotters.

While he is high flying the local Labour party might put him up for election in St Andrews next time round. It will be an interesting election that one.

(As a resident in that ward.)
'I'm sorry, it's a no from me.'
Which means he won't be going forward to the next round.
