I owe my MP an apology
Yesterday, I complained that my MP hadn’t replied to a letter I sent him regarding the Police and Justice Bill. However, this very afternoon, I received a lovely polite email from someone in his office apologising for the tardiness of the reply. I wonder if that means he reads my blog (or, perhaps someone in his office does). Anyway, it was a very nice email so I thought I’d better amend my earlier post so as not to refer to him as a bugger. If you’re reading, I am sorry about that old chap.
Apparently the Police and Justice Bill is now entering the committee stage and so my MP has copied the letter to his colleague Nick Clegg MP, who is sitting on the relevant committee, and asked him to take my views to the committee. That’s what I call service.
Daisy says:
But will anyone on the committee understand what you’ve written?

p.s. Thank you so much for the css fix suggestion, it worked like a charm. I’ll sleep easy knowing that I “just” have to start fixing all those pesky validation errors now

Daisy, you are most welcome for the css fix. All you have to do is pique my curiosity about these things and I cannot rest until I’ve got to the root of the problem.
I hope that some of the MPs will understand what I’ve written (I strive for optimism). I did take some care to try and write my letter in the clearest and simplest of language bearing in mind I was addressing a non-specialist. We’ll have to see what comes out of the committee stage of the bill.

Daisy says:
Heh. Here’s to the piquing of curiosity!
Sometimes I think that if you’d written it in Janet and John language it would have no effect. But I’m getting cynical in me old age.
