Q. How many MPs does it take to reply to a letter from one of their constituents?A. Fucking millions if the name of that MP happens to be Dawn Butler from Brent.
I wrote to Dawn as she's my local MP to ask her about her position on EDM 595 (Serious Fraud Office Investigation into the Al Yamamah Military Contract) five months ago. I got no reply so another letter then an email followed. And still no reply.
So I contacted CAAT (Campaign Against the Arms Trade) to ask if any other of their supporters in Brent had contacted her on this issue without success.
And apparently I'm not the only one. CAAT have records of two other supporters contacting Dawn Butler and her not bothering to reply or even acknowledge their letters either.
If it was a chance to get her face on the front page of the local newspaper I bet she couldn't reach the postbox quick enough. It's no wonder people think all politicians are worthless, untrustworthy, uncaring fucks when they can't even be bothered with the simple courtesy of answering a letter.
You'd almost think they don't care about the issue of big-business corruption in the country they are part of governing... D'oh! There's the answer!
