A week on, still waiting for any kind of *human* response from Tessa Jowell's office regarding an email that I sent a week ago.


Given that the subject matter is very much 'time is of the essence' (the Digital Economy Bill, with Harriet Harman likely to make an announcement this Thursday on arrangements for rushing this Bill through in an undemocratic way without any proper debate; and with contentious issues likely to be included in the 'wash up'), this is not what I expect from my MP.


Am I expecting too much?


Or perhaps Tessa just doesn't care any more?? (there's a few of those around, the ones that are leaving)

I suspect you are the only person who has written to her this week


probably


And still she won't respond eh?


tsk


I know this bill has generated enormous amounts of debate and traffic - I've registered my own protest as well, but I'm not sure what kind of meaningful response you can expect from tess at this point, within a week

Yeah, well I know she's written back to someone else locally on this issue in a few days...


Maybe my letter just fell behind the filing cabinet? :-/


There is definitely a postbag on this one; and I think a major issue is the complacency of MPs on the issue (kind of "oh I don't like measures xyz, and (so?) it probably won't get through). Many don't seem to realise that by this stage it's a done deal as far as MPs are concerned. But then Tessa is not just an MP right, so her loyalties perhaps don't lie with her constituents??


(but rather with the BPI, IFPI and all their works)


Did anyone mention lobbying? ;-)

The way that most other MPs are responding to their constituents. Which is to say they are referring the matter to the minister or somesuch.


I mean, any response would be better than none.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
