Signed... i would like to think this makes a difference, but I’ve never been convinced by these petitions get truly listened to... think I’ll write to my mp as well!

I absolutely agree with a petition, but I’m confused. Change.org appears to be American??
Can someone explain

 

For anyone who doesn't know
In the First World War, the government decided that all soldiers would be buried where they fell, because they did not want the wealthy to return their dead to the UK whilst the poor could not. For want of a grave to visit, communities collected money and built memorials where they could mourn and grieve. In the Second World War, many did not return, and often their names were added for the same reason and purpose. They are effectively gravestones and deserve to be respected

 

That would be a complete and utter waste of time for me! my political representative is that utter arse "Richard Burgon"

 

Hmmm. Unless your MP is Jamie Stone.

Wrote to him once. Got a really nice letter back saying "Mr Stone is on holiday." and that was that.

 

Write again, see if he's back yet.

 

Are they ever?

 

I met him a few years back when he was an MSP at a Poppy Day launch. He was very jovial and busy ‘pressing the flesh’ and seemed disappointed I didn’t know who he was. I looked him up to find he had worked in fish gutting and oil. “Yes,” I thought, “Extraction industries and now he is mining the taxpayer.”

 

Well no, I suppose once you're aboard the gravy train it's just one big holiday. Twats !

 

Yes just registered. I wonder who collects all the donations and just how it gets spent. We could see a lot of people driving around in new cars and mortgages paid. The politicians in this country I don't think give a hoot about our heritage they just like collections.

"Done" lets hope something good comes of it

 

His mother had a cake shop in Tain. I was told she wouldn't let him work behind the counter.

 

I do not think anyone should be an m.p unless they have served in the armed forces.
