Three times now to three different MPs. Gave up then. Glad you got something more.



I'm actually sorry to hear that. What topics were you contacting them about, if you don't mind my asking? I wrote about private issues, copyright and digital rights issues, and various local council issues (fences and paths). I got a good response every time.

It would be cool to compile a list of responsive and unresponsive MPs…


So was I at the time. It dented my confidence in politicians. This was then immediately followed by the expenses scandals in which one of the MPs I contacted was implicated.

Three different MPs. The issues were about planning permission being denied for a structure that everyone else down the road has, an issue I had with the CPS who lost the evidence after I was stabbed and refused to formally charge the person and the reduction of the number of parking spaces in my area by 50% resulting in people fighting in the streets over spaces (literally!).

Privacy, copyright and digital rights issues, I vote with my feet.

With other issues, I wield a solicitor now. It's a much better use of time and money and that is saying something.
