From this and previous posts it seems like they are not very nice people at all.<BR/><BR/>On a slightly broader note, the mention of cameras gives me an interesting idea. MP's seem to love the idea of being able to monitor the general public with cctv. How about we turn the tables and smother the Palace of Westminster with cameras? Every office, cloakroom, broom cupboard and corridor monitored 24/7 with picture and sound. Then we might get some idea of what the buggers get up to, both worthy and less so.<BR/><BR/>If nothing else MP's might get to realise just what it feels like on the streets of Britain nowadays.The Remittance Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13104149259707414863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-32793537857976376942007-05-21T13:55:00.000+01:002007-05-21T13:55:00.000+01:00Anonymous 1.17 - We've got to separate the issues....Anonymous 1.17 - We've got to separate the issues.

This woman appears to have had problems with an awful lot of people. Her local party, local press, local police, fellow politicians etc etc. I am quite sure that her problems with male colleagues have been similar to that of all other woman in the House of Commons. It was only a few months ago I read an article about the antics of some - specifically Nicholas Soames who made crude sexual motions when women were speaking in the house. I also believe that the cameras in the commons will now change to bring wider shots of the chamber which will stop all this sexual harassment from whatever side of the house it comes from.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, women in many professions have to deal with sexual harrassment. However, we do not all turn into alcoholics. Also, we may all delude ourselves about our workplace associates. Politics seem no different to any other career. Out of sight - out of mind with lots of acquaintances and very few friends.<BR/><BR/>I very much regret this poor womens life and how it ended. However, her political life was one part only and noone forced her to drink herself to death. This sounds cruel and it is not meant to be. Those loved ones left behind also have to seek reasons for their loss and also have to cope with personal guilt. At such times everyone is to blame - work associates, local health providers, the courts etc etc. Sadly, Fiona herself is to blame and at some time in the future peace may come to her family.<BR/><BR/>I do not think this is political issue. All MPs who have lost their seats have had to cope with depair and feelings of neglect. It is how this is coped with which determines their future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-20833440671969804532007-05-21T09:13:00.000+01:002007-05-21T09:13:00.000+01:00I'd guess that the "Not welcome" sign had gone up ...I'd guess that the "Not welcome" sign had gone up over the funeral?<BR/><BR/>I think you'll find that the NOTW outed the alleged harrasser of this woman.<BR/><BR/>Reported that myself with a picture of the demon headmaster.
