Another nasty personal comment just to stir things up - especially when you consider her health problems.
Just my view

25 November 2013 12:29253667That is a shame she struck me as being a good MP who works for the community rather than the party.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Audere est facere. - 25 November 2013 15:02253684Yes Jan you are correct, a very hard working and approachable lady, who does a lot of good work for her communities."My New Year's Resolution, is to try and emulate Marek's level of chilled out, thoughtfulness and humour towards other forumites and not lose my decorum"

Sorry to hear that news about Laura Sandys. She was and is a hugely active Conservative MP and has worked very hard for all her constituents right across the spectrum. She has always been particularly interested in those struggling on low incomes and championed many a cause against the mighty supermarkets to make sure they offered value for money ..particularly where the consumer thought he/she was getting the same product at the same continued price... but was in fact getting less in the same packet almost un-noticed.
A particular trick with food manufacturers but an unfair one.
She sent us lots of information over the years too for which we were always grateful.
I hope she does well in the future and wish her the best with her medical problems.email: dover7@msn.com - 25 November 2013 19:29253717Sorry to hear this news. Laura Sandys has worked tirelessly and achieved a huge amount for the people of South Thanet. She will be a hard act to follow, I wish her all the very best
