I started to wonder if I had offended someone who writes the PLP briefings, as I was less than complimentary about their usefulness to caseworkers ;-) <br /><br />Anon (the polite one!) - you're so right about the fact that casework is seen as beneath the notice of many people, (as evidenced by the comment, I guess) despite the fact that it IS a major part of an MPs role. I can't help feeling that if our usual suspects had better support from the mental health services, they wouldn't spend so much time contacting us. (Agree entirely about the nutter re the house/divorce, though - this business of them distributing flyers seems to be an annoying new trend!)Polly James (aka Molly Bennett)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10997400503233527235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329300544060491287.post-31787662853507259342010-08-03T11:29:32.607+01:002010-08-03T11:29:32.607+01:00I'm still lovin' it Molly. Not all of us ...I'm still lovin' it Molly. Not all of us 'Anons' are so rude! <br /><br />...and I agree with you about casework. Who would look after these people if we didn't? Although I am tempted not to put myself out too much for the nutter who lost his house during his divorce almost 25 years ago and blames my boss and me for it - and distributes flyers all round town saying so. <br /><br />My boss has only been an MP for 9 years and I've been here 8!

I am saddened, though not surprised, that some of you "in town" find life in the constituencies dull, though can't help feeling that it says something about attitudes to real life problems that dealing with them is considered a "mindless job." <br /><br />My own view is that, if policy-makers had more awareness of what the lives of people outside the Westminster village are really like, they might make better policy.Polly James (aka Molly Bennett)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10997400503233527235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329300544060491287.post-12728134328972004562010-08-02T22:51:05.039+01:002010-08-02T22:51:05.039+01:00I have to say initially it was a good read but tim...I have to say initially it was a good read but time has proved that a dull mindless job is exactly that, not particularly interesting. <br /><br />No wonder most MPs maxed their expenses in town only to drag their rather large seats 'home', whatever that means in expense land, at the weekend, albeit reluctantly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329300544060491287.post-63365087546702068332010-08-02T19:55:21.253+01:002010-08-02T19:55:21.253+01:00Send Josh to sort the meters & you'll prob...Send Josh to sort the meters & you'll probably never need worry about Miss Chambers again.
