Weihrauch17 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 The HOC and Lords exist only to make our lives worse and impoverish the masses. They add no value to anything, quite the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 My previous Tory MP (Sir Michael Spicer) was very good. I think I wrote to him twice or three times in around 15 years - requesting he sign early day motions relating to helping shooting/fieldsports and flagged up by the BASC, Game Conservancy etc. Each time I had a positive, clearly specifically written in reply to my request reply saying he was aware of the motion (by Sir Geoffrey Clifton Brown), and was in touch with Sir GCB and was going to/had signed. It was finished off with a short hand written final paragraph and signed (by him). The impression given was that he was acting for me/shooting, was liaising with the MP raising the matter (in fact a neighbouring constituency to ours) and was both interested, supportive and willing to help. I don't know if he had any personal interest/involvement in fieldsports, but he always seemed to be broadly supportive. He retired a while back on health grounds and has since died. I have written (I think only once) to his (also Tory) replacement. I received a standard pre-printed reply to the effect that she does not sign motions at the request of correspondents/constituents and it was signed by a simple 'pp' (i.e. a secretary) on her behalf. One was left with the strong impression that she had never read my letter and had no intention of doing so and couldn't care less. My constituency is a very safe Tory seat and she's clearly of the view that pleasing voters doesn't matter and isn't worth her time. I also suspect that she is 'un-supportive' of shooting/fieldsports, though I don't know that for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie to this Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) In fairness to my MP, she will reply everytime (or someone does), the reply is next to useless, but I get a reply. They do live in their own bubble though. When I told her that because of the Conservatives no longer being conservative, they had lost my vote and I wouldn't be voting Labour either, her reply was along the lines that, she was sorry to hear that I felt that I had no options and wouldn't be voting anymore, and asking what she could possibly do to change my mind. I didn't get a reply when I explained that the Cons and Liebour are not the only options on the paper. They are just too secure in the two party system, this has to change!

12gauge82 Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 I contacted David Warburton once and must say he was exceptionally helpful, he bent over backwards to help despite what I'd asked of him not being something he needed to get involved in as an MP. I know he has since been accused of some sort of misconduct and resigned, but I can only speak as I find. He did a good deed when I and others I knew needed some help.

1Ab Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 I contacted my local MP, and while he didn't respond him self he certainly greased the gears and the matter was resolved in days rather than months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 I wrote to my local MP several times about Government Departments breaking the law almost daily. Quite serious offences - not trivial stuff, but never had a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HantsRob Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 I have had need to write to Sir George Young a few times, and he was most helpful and frankly utterly charming and delightful to work with. All of the work was without personal gain to himself, and to my knowledge didn't serve towards PR or personal gain. Genuinely I am so grateful to him, and he was thoroughly pleasant. I hope he enjoys retirement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
