MP Miss Widdecombe responds!!!

[Justin]

In response to the recent letter sent by myself, Ian and Annie to all MPs, using my home postal address as a contact address, we received this breathtaking and appalling reply from her PA. 1984 is definitely here!

Have a look at our original letter and then look at the response:

Thats absolute B*****KS about being bound by regulation.

Norman Baker met me in his office in Portcullis House and I`m a LONG way from being one of his constitudnts!

She is lying; pretty poor attempt too.

No she is not misleading you.
The rules are you have to deal with your own MP as they are not allowed to tread on anyone elses toes.

The only time when this changes is if an MP has a particular interest or responsibility.
EG: I wrote to TIM YEO who is MP for Suffolk. But he did indeed engage in replying solely because what i wrote to him about was a complaint about Ken Livingstone. Tim Yeo is chairman of the parliamentary committee for Transport Pollution. He agreed to present my letter to the parliamentary committee next time it sat.

so you see if you wrote to Anne Widdecombe about a subject she is personally involved with the she will reply and take up the case. Norman Baker is involve in the Kelly case so he will accept correspondence from any constituancy.

The other protocol is if you write to a minister. They must reply if it falls withing their remit.

So truthers must write to their local MP their local MEP and assembly members only. In addition they may write to say the minister for fatherland security and possibly MPs who have expressed certain leanings such as Michael Meecher as an example. But rather than write about solely 911 we must link it in with the connective issues such as the war in Iraq/Afghanistan and the war on terror and 7/7 and illegal use of Depleted Uranium. By showing the MP that 911 was the trigger and excuse for all that followed we can gain a better response and justify the MP taking up the challange.

Surely when any national campaign wishes to lobby parliament it is not a requirement that those signing the letter on behalf of the campaign be resident in an MPs constituency before they can seek their support?

Are you saying this same rule applies to other national campaigns such as Make Poverty History or No2ID? And how would Ms Widdecombe's office know where the signatories live? We don't say. So for all they know we do live in her constituency. No, this is a wholly lame attempt to duck the issue.

[karlos]

There is a parliamentary protocol that one MP does not interfere in the constituancy affairs of another sitting MP
An MP will only overide this tradition if they have an interest.
If you wrote to Widdecombe about converting to Catholicism she might well respond but otherwise she has no obligation to respond other than folow the parliamentary protocols.

[ian neal]

But this is not a constituency affair.

It is a letter from a national campaign about an issue of national and international importance. It is not about a local matter such as introducing speed humps in my neighbourhood or the like

We are not asking her to intervene in local matter of relevance only to another MP so I don't think the protocol you mention applies. She is just wriggling and evading.

Ian Neal - Ms Widdicombe is a Tory and can therefore do no wrong in the eyes of Stelios. She is beyond any criticism.

I live in Blackpool and my local MP (Gordon Marsden) before the Iraq war lived in Brighton. He refused to correspond with people from neighbouring constituencies so we planned to take a delegation of constituents down to Brighton with a video camera but, unsurprisingly, a lack of finances was an obstruction - it's a long way to Brighton from Blackpool.

But, to make a point, though, there must be a 9/11 truther who lives in Maidstone and The Weald. Beat her/them at her/their own game.

I also sent this letter to my local MP (Croydon Central). I haven't received and do not expect to receive a reply because it is asking him to put his standing within his own party (Conservative) at some small risk.

Actually I have put the 9/11 information to his face and handed him DVD's that I know he has watched. The fellow will say anything he thinks you want to hear off the record but if ever you come across a line of any sort, his is one arse you definitely won't find on it.

[karlos]

Andrew Pelling asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the total cost has been of the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
So i would presume he is slightly anti war.

But you have done a good job.

At least you know that he knows the truth and one day when the subject becomes more mainstream or when he becomes more bolder he will raise the subject in parliament.

Never mind, just keep up the pressures on these people, it will take time. Three weeks ago I sent an invite to all our Cornish MP's to come and hear William Rodriguez talk in Cornwall last Sunday. Three replied with apologies, and Matthew Taylor (MP Truro) and Colin Breed (MP East Cornwall) didn't even give us the decency of an apology.

Mind you, you should have seen the utter contempt for these MP's in the eyes of the audience when I told them.

So just keep it up. Once these gutless MP's realise the growth of the movement, and once the understanding dawns that many ordinary folks, once having seen the evidence, also become skeptical of the official 911 conspiracy theory, then these same people who cannot see the obvious (much like Nelson put the telescope to his blind eye and stated "I can't see any ships") will be falling over to distance themselves from Blair, Bush and their lies, illegal wars and other crimes.
