    Getting back to business, the rolling stone seems to be gathering momentum: 25 sigs now including a few English MPs. :j

    Although it wasn't the first 'Johnny Foreigner' comment he'd made!

    Shame really as he had made some useful contributions elsewhere.



    I think he's been banned, his posts have gone from other threads too. Shame, all he needed to do was edit his post and instead he got on his high horse.


    As for the EDM, nowhere near enough English MP's (yet).

    Sixth Anniversary
    Parliament has been in recess during the party conference season, they are back this week. May explain the slow progress in getting signatures.

    Up to 28 now. Wonder why there's such a paucity of Conservative signatories?

    Still awaiting ANY acknowledgment - even auto - from re-sent, reinforced email and posted copy thereof, from &MP [not of &ersuasion].

    Will see what transpires at Mtg ce soir[#54]

    EDMs have little currency, they are a sop to back-benchers who can boast to their constituents that they are "doing something".

    I hope you spell checked the email you sent, and did not use any French.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.

    Printed out EDM+some telling p/w<PP, these Threads, local journos etc and asked members to do their utmost @ mtg last Friday night.

    Spelt out how those with links to Members in other constituencies can help.

    Heard Pete Wishart on r4's Today yesterday on Another Matter :-)

    29 signatures as we speak -
    21 SNP
    4 Labour
    1 Plaid Cymru[a third of their count! - as learnt via same prog. earlier]
    1 DUP
    1 Ind.
    1 Con.
