Great point, ok Il post what I wrote, then I will take a quick pic of the letter and upload it.
Dear David Clelland,
It is not often that I feel the need to write to my MP, in fact the
last time I did so I was living across the river and it was a Lib Dem
MP. He was kind enough to write a considerate reply and I hope you will
do the same.
The reason I am writing this is not because of one specific issue, its
because of the general direction of our authoritarian and frighteningly
out of touch government. There is an old saying "Do not attribute to
malice that which can easily be explained by stupidity" which frankly
is exactly the view I took for a long time. Now however I can no longer
ignore the blatant power grab that is going on, this government and you
yourself are responsible for destroying civil liberties that have been
hard won from tyrannical Monarchs over centuries.
When I look at your voting record, I see nothing but disappointment and
disgust. You vote with your party on pretty much every single issue, it
is not your constituents that you represent, its your party. I would be
interested to know if you really do believe that it is right that we
introduce biometric ID cards for example, could you make a case for the
cards and the national identity register that goes with them?
Do you have any principals that you believe in other than blind loyalty
to a supposedly socialist but increasingly fascist like party?
Mr Clelland, I am calling on you to start acting like an MP for your
constituency and vote with your conscience instead. I know you were
(maybe still are, hard to tell from wikipedia) a party whip and so you
probably go along with this idea of voting with your party, but I want
to tell you that it is wrong, its not right and you shouldn't be doing
it. You should be asking your constituents what they think of draconian
and useless 'terrorism legislation' and detention without charge for 42
days, not just blindly voting with your party. All these new laws are
useless anyway, I don't believe for one second that they have had any
impact other than allowing the police to think they can harass members
of the public for taking photographs of buildings and other such
nonsense.
Also just a note on that extreme pornography law, I want to say that is
one of the worst bits of legislation I have ever heard of and if you
voted for it, you voted for making millions of normal law abiding
people criminals. In my opinion if any law makes a substantial chunk of
the population criminals overnight then it is a bad law, after all how
do you describe 'extreme' how do you define what constitutes 'damage to
genitals' so if somebody videos a genital piercing they are now liable
to be prosecuted? Not saying any of this is my bag, I don't have
anything to fear from this law but I just do not understand why anybody
should have the right to prohibit consensual sexual behaviour at all,
least of all a bunch of old puritans in parliament.
So there is a bit of ranting and raving from one of your constituents,
I hope you start to think for yourself at some point and I will keep an
eye on your voting record. If you keep towing the party line on blatant
incursions in to our civil liberties then you can kiss my vote goodbye
and you can also count on the fact that I will be convincing everybody
I know in Gateshead to do the same.
Yours sincerely,
G4Z
