I just used the link on hazels site to ask her about the sacking (on my own account/for my own benefit). I got an autoreply saying the address was only for her constituents, and noone else would be responded to (so probably the last I'll hear).
Well... there you go... I should give my own MP a kicking I guess, see if he passes it on and gets any response (he won't, but I'll enjoy giving him a kicking (again)). Its just a shame that he will charge all the effort that goes into his 'non-responses' on expenses paid for by... me!! If only I could make *him* pay me for the time I spend complaining about him! (without him charging it to expenses).
