Comment on Comment On Emergency Budget by Clive Reckless

Hello Mark,
First of all let me congratulate you on your election to the House of commons.
I am sure that somewhere in the dim, and distant pass we will share some common Ancestry, especially if you can trace it back to the Nottingham area
Having passed on my best wishes I must confess to not sharing the same political views as yourself although I did vote for both Thatcher & Major in the past, but time moves on, and situations change.
I believe the rush to cut the defecit quicker then planned could prove to be disastrous for the UK economy, and for quite a number of the people who live here.

I thought we got off quite lightly actually. I was expecting VAT at 22% so only 20% is a result.

As far as I see – most people actually do not care about the topic who is the police boss and what they eat for supper.

The most important is to let police officers work and guard society (what they do as good as they can)

Very good choice of subject, and very well argued!

I am pleased that the reality of ACPO is being “outed” at long last!

If anyone has any doubts about directly-elected police chiefs and similar (and I know there are possible issues with the idea) the perfect antidote is to remind such folk of the way the present policing situation is dominated and essentially driven by this Trade Union/private company, and has little if any relation to what the community needs.

Who serves whom? Does the tail wag the dog? These are vitally important questions in a period where crime and criminals have been treated so lightly, and victims so poorly.

The priorities in recent years have been all wrong, and that situation cannot change under the present regime. Let the vested interest that is ACPO object all it likes: we *must* have policing that is freed from their effectively tyrannical control.

Dear Mark,

My father was the original 6th Airborne. they were the ones who pioneered the parachute from 28 to 33. according to my father in November 39 they had been put on standby whilst in Palistine (never ever called it Isreal) and told they would be going to france to cover a retreat. our government of the day new then that the french were going to desert and finally did in june 40. all fifteen armies of them run away.

My father met my mother on the beaches and held her in his arms for 18 hours prior to being taken of. My mother was a nures looking after the TB troops in france. The 21 and 22 jumped at the start and stayed till the end. the 21 and most of the 22nd were wiped out, only a handful survived. My mother and father were married several weeks after he came out of hospital, he had been shoot in the leg a few times.

He did forgive the Germans and the Japs but never till the day he died did he forgive the french. Most people do not realise the where the true 22nd come from but accept it from me it comes from the Kings ulster rifles, 1st battalion, 6th airborne, 22nd suadron. No mention of it anywhere, no reconistion for these incredible men. the 6th only mention was on the ladings of Arnam and dday. This is the real sadness of it all.

Kind Regards

ronald clayton

Comment on Catching Breath… by Allan SNELLER

Mark,
Great news to see you duly installed as our new MP. On your canvassing tour of St.Mary’s Island you kindly undertook to look into the situation we have where our 11+ year olds have to ‘commute’ for 3 hours each day to travel to senior scholls no more than 5 miles away. You will have seen the recent artilce in Medway News (13th May) around it, and we have an input at Medway Council’s Regeneration oversight and scrutiny committee on 1st June at 6.30pm (Gun Wharf).

Councillor Phil Filmer, the relevant portfolio holder, seems to be burying his head in the sand oveer this. It will be a foolish strategy as the demographic development of the Island will see an rapid increase in 11+ year olds, and the problem will not go away.

There is a cheap and obvious quick win to this problem, and an opportunity for our new blue MP to win/cement exisiting hearts and minds.

Can you help please?

Best wishes for the 5 years ahead,
Allan (and Sue & Barnaby) Sneller.

I agree with you Holly, I don’t work at this moment in time, and I am on Ib benefit, and I suffer from autism and depression, I am extremely concerned that I might be affected by these changes of the welfare system. Is Mark Reckless and David cameron, is putting the National insterest ahead of my mental state. Jason

Excellent video. Should be put on a DVD and mailed to every house in the constituency so people realise just what’s going on.

As an estate agent I get to drive all over the Medway and I have been singularly impressed with the amount of Mark Reckless posters I have come across. Good luck with the campaign Mark. Would be interested to know if you support HIPs or want to scrap them? I have to say they’ve done nothing to help my business and will be glad to see the back of them.
