I had hoped that by encouraging them to examine their own constituency MP, they might discover how close to home these crimes and misdemeanors are. Buggered of Bognor Regis Dear Worried,

Unfortunately, it is the usual Mirror-targets-Cameron-and-Sun-targets-Jowell stuff. I'm worried about all this now; we may be about to slip into the Vietnam News Syndrome. That is, 'Oh look, there's a woman on fire and oh look there's a hollowed-out shell of a kid and pass the chicken breast someone'. It is so easy to get inured to the idea that everything in the system is rotten....but so hard to stop thinking that way about everyone and everything.

I thought she would be a hard act to follow, and said so at the time. Much to my delight, you've done very well - congratulations! I'll do my best with your little search, but can't promise anything; our local ZaNuLabour place-man is more slippery than an eel. I’ve been following you as the new Anna for a while now, TJ.
