Not hearing from my MP
Well, my MP said he was going to write but, sadly, no letter has arrived in time for it to do any good before the General Election. So, I guess we’ll just have to proceed on the assumption that Andrew Lansley (a Conservative cabinet member) really was confused about the difference between immigration and asylum – or didn’t think it important enough to clear up before the election. Which is sad, really.
Update
Well, it looks like I wrote a little too soon! The post was late and in it was a letter from Andrew Lansley! Sadly, though, it was rather pitiful.
I have always been clear about the distinction between immigration and asylum.
That’s it. That is how he explains his understanding of these issues. Oh, he does add that they are “important issues, because both have been so chaotically managed by Labour”, but that is neither an answer to the questions I asked him nor what the Conservative election message has been. It’s rather sad that he took the time to answer a letter but didn’t take the time to answer the questions in that letter, rendering the exercise rather pointless.
Anyhow – get out and vote, all you Brits!
pax et bonum
