I was a constituent of Dobbo's in Holborn & St Pancras. He was useless and idle at anything he set his mind to.
and once more I point out that my experience has been wholly at variance with this. I still am a constituent of Frank Dobson and have been for the last ten years. In that time I've had occasion to write to him three times (once about a parking ticket that I didn't want to pay, once about a planning application to demolish a pub, and once about the Iraqi employees campaign) and he's been responsive and helpful every time. He was also neither useless nor idle in kicking the shit out of that terrible education bill a few years ago, for which service to the public, his reward was to have all of his amendments and contributions appropriated by the Blair government and used as evidence of how they care about real opportunities and solutions, not like those Luddites like Frank Dobson.
I might have mentioned before that Dobson was brought into politics by my late great-aunt, and indeed gave the eulogy at her funeral early in 1997.
ReplyDeleteHe's spent forty years working hard for the people who've elected him to office at different levels. As usual, being attacked by Kamm is a badge of merit.
I take it you were opposing the pubocide?
ReplyDeleteYes; I have not yet reached the stage of bourgeois decrepitude where I start complaining to the council about the noise. Although to be honest, it's in the post, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYou don't look like a man who could ever get that to stage...

Eleven years on, is there any chance I can find out if my donation to Martin Bell's campaign in Tatton went to Kamm, and if so, request a refund?
ReplyDeleteFrankly, if Dobbo told him to fuck off after getting what those with the fortitude to read him experience, fair fucking play.
