ballaughbiker Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I know Dennis Skinner and have dealt with him in business. Whilst our politics differ, I can tell you he's a very principled man and as 'straight as a die' and in his time as MP for Bolsover, represented his constituents well for just short of 50 years until he lost his red wall seat in 2019. In fairness though, he was well past his best anyway due to his age. I haven't met 30p but I do know a few that have had dealings with him and they mostly confirm he is a very different MP and personality to Skinner and not in a good way. A quick glace at their MP expense claims and parliamentary voting records is quite revealing considering they are from the same area and background. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet you somehow came up with the idea that Lee Anderson saw a specific family from his constituency in a fast food joint in Covent Garden after havinh seen them in two others. Not only did this have to happen once but over a period of months of you believe Lee Andersons version of events. Is there anything you won't believe or make up to defend this guy?

I suppose its kind of on the way. Edited March 10, 2023 by Declan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an attempt at humour. As you say that scenario is implausible. But it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that he saw the family in the local MacDonalds several times in a short space of time. There is one MacDonalds in his constituency which is in a retail park. There is ,for example an Asda next door from which you can see into MacDonalds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably train from Mansfield and Alfreton Parkway station early enough to allow time for a trip to Covent Garden , perhaps to buy his wife a birthday present. PMQs start at 12 on a Wednesday I believe. Loads of time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes the thought of an MP shopping in a supermarket is really not that weird. I’ve seen Chris Thomas at B & Q shopping with the hoi pilloi Even whinger Prince Harry claims he has shopped in Waitrose, Sainsbury’s etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway back on track,so London hotel beats Pizza Express which in turn beats MacDonalds in the snob stakes What is the acceptable level for someone in the public eye to mix with the hoi pollli?
