We went to lobby our Tory MP so he called the cops
This evening I helped deliver a petition opposing the Lobbying Bill to our local MP in Croydon South, Richard Ottaway.
The Grand High Tory would only let one person into his constituency office and had even called the police when he realised that a massive eight people were going to turn up.
There were actually 11 of us in the end from a range of political persuasions and the average age was well into the 50s; did he really think this bunch were a personal threat? One lady was 81 and totally livid that he wouldn’t let us in. He also refused to have a photo taken with us. It’s a bit ironic that we couldn’t effectively lobby our MP about lobbying.

He called the cops because a few constituents turned up to lobby him on the Lobbying Bill and he wouldn't address them. So much for representation there then.

Putz...all conservative politicians are elitists. The mistake was in expecting a true representative democrat.

Yes politics all went wrong when we no longer voted for RESPECTED LOCAL people from our areas.

Yes, I had to think about that too.
