Cannot believe this....

bbc news story

So, the real issues of crime, health, economy are not quite as important as this then, eh!? People often complain about there being too much "reality tv" on the box, yet now it seems to have infected Parliment.

FFS, Plop Idol has STILL got two "people without image of ideal pop star" in the competition out of 8 finalists.

So why are these MPs wasting their time? If it is your MP, you should be questioning their selection in the next election.....

Most people couldn't even name their local MP.

Sad but true.

If you want to know who your MP is and/or write to them try playing in FaxYourMP and see what happens.

In a word, no. The only time I have ever seen our local MP do anything useful was surprisingly enough a couple of weeks prior to the local elections. The dangerously broken pavement near the local shops was finally block-paved.

Now that the elections have come and gone, the other problem with some fencing needed to stop ar*eholes dumping illegally, is still "under review".
