Thanks everyone.
Yes Arch, he is the Conservative member for Blaby, one Andrew Robathan MP.
We have exchanged letters on this subject for a couple of years now, and although he claims to share many of my views, will not lift a finger to help the campaign. Perhaps the fact that, as an ex pongo, he lost a pal on the flight, colours his feelings.
'You may be interested to know that I spend every day refusing to sign EDMs, but sometimes I am caught off-guard, usually by a colleague - as in, for instance, the National Anthem one.'
I too feel, especially as I and my mrs voted for him, that he is my servant and not vice-versa. Not sure I want an MP who has been caught 'off-guard' 26 times this year! He'll be a couple of votes short next time anyway.
Suffice so far to have rattled his cage. Hopefully, the next few days will put a favourable end to this long running disgracegul farago. If not, I will seek the support of the Organ Grinder, and leave his monkey to chew on his nuts.
