Early Day Motion

We seek him here, we seek him there, Those Smoggies seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven?—Is he in hell? He's not in Middlesbrough, That demmed, elusive Pimpernel.
Due to unforeseen circumstances ALL contact to “The Scarlet Pimpernel” is suspended. In future constituents will need to apply direct to the “Middlesbrough Town Hall Prospective MP Barn Dancing Extravaganza” Ladies & Gentlemen please take your places for the next dance led by Ray Mallon – Musical Chairs. All participants left without a chair or good enough spin story of why they should be elected MP for Middlesbrough will be removed from the floor. Let the dancing on the ice of spin begin…

Early Day Motion

Post by BoroBot »

MP for Paris (Middlesbrough branch)
Sir Stuart Bell was indisposed (couldn’t be bothered) to vote
or it was too early in the day


:lol: :lol: :lol: ;)
ENGLISH DEFENCE LEAGUE MARCH IN MIDDLESBROUGH ON 9 JULY 2011
Session: 2010-12
Date tabled: 15.06.2011
That this House condemns the English Defence League which promotes racism and anti-Semitism and who are planning a march in Middlesbrough on 9 July 2011; notes that this organisation has always been silent on crucial local issues like the closure of Redcar blast-furnace, cuts to local services such as health and education and that they are not from Middlesbrough and have nothing to do with the area; further notes that this march displays a complete disregard and ignorance of the history of the town, which was founded on immigration from a range of countries including Italy, Germany, Ireland and the Baltic countries, which previously had a large Jewish community and now has a large Asian community, and its forefathers like Henry Bolckow, the industrialist and Middlesbrough's first Member of Parliament who was from Germany; further notes that the Cenotaph in Middlesbrough is a commemoration to the brave local men and women who gave their lives to fight fascism; believes that this march is a grave insult to their sacrifice; and calls on all the communities in Middlesbrough to join together in showing solidarity and opposition to this march.
