Re: Tory MP tells voters to `go and live in another country.‏ - Update.

I decide, that as I'd gone to the effort of writing up the Faversham and Mid Kent hustings, (see previous blog) I'd send the details to a few friends:

MPs, Men of the People!‏

A few weeks back a train was delayed at Faversham so it could be overtaken by one *because an MP was on it*.

I emailed all the local MPs to ask if it was them (I didn't tell them that I'd copied in all the local and national press, Private Eye, Order-Order.com). Below is the email - interestingly only Hugh Robertson and Roger Gale bothered to reply. I never got to the bottom of who the guilty MP was.

Guys,

Today, waiting at the station for the 7:16 Faversham to London Victoria train, the would be passengers were informed that their train would be delayed. This was apparently so that the 7:24 to London Cannon Street could over take. The Cannon Street train isn't normally afforded such deference, but - "THERE WAS AN MP ON THE TRAIN WHO WANTED TO GET TO WORK ON TIME!".

I wonder if anyone would like to investigate the veracity of this? Who was the MP? Perhaps it was you? And if true perhaps someone could explain why the desire of this one person to get to the office on time was deemed more important than several hundred of other citizens struggling to do exactly the same thing, albeit, for the majority, in standard class and having to foot the bill for the ticket themselves.

Yours inquisitively,

Gavin.
