Jared Omara MP ..

[cgksheff]

Talk about Bad Timing ,just had a leaflet from Laura Gordon boasting about working for Charities in earth quake relief in Haiti

 

I don't think that she actually went to Haiti although she did work for an outfit that supported the relief.

What, exactly, does her leaflet say?

From the Laura Gordon leaflet:-

 

"EXPERIENCE: Worked for the Department for International Developement. Previously worked in humanitarian roles for charities, including Oxfam and Save the Children on the international stage in war zones and countries hit by Ebola."

 

Sounds like political <removed>. I may be doing her a diservice but maybe not. My trust in politicians is so low that anything that is not a clear fact is open to 'translation'.

 

How many charities did she work for?

Any job for either of those 2 charities can be described as humanitarian.

Whats 'the international stage'?

Which war zones?

Most countries could be described as 'hit by ebola''

 

I guess I'm just a cynical old <removed>.

Is Laura Gordon a LibDem MP, or just a wannabee LibDem MP.

No not cynical as many seem to fall for the "I work for a charity" spiel. What people seem to miss is the fact that these are well paid jobs and the charity bit is in title only. Just because some work for them does not in itself mean that they are themselves charitable.

It all seems odd somehow, vote LIEbour and get a LibDem supporter.

 

Think that's odd? Last time Hallam voted Lib Dem, they got a Tory

Have to agree. I give money to Oxfam and Save the Children so people like Laura can pay her mortgage, but I don't put it on my CV and expect to be better thought of. The idea that somebody who works for charity is more caring is ridiculous. Doctors, nurses and social workers pull the same stunt when they go into politics. Just give us your policies and what you'll do locally for the voters that you'll actually forget once you get on that train to London.

 

Mind you, it reads better than Jared's "worked in a pub before being elected accidentally"

I'm not sure why you're so keen to chastise her over this, you've actually spent more characters discussing her CV than she uses to describe it in her leaflet. The rest of her literature is about policy and the like.

Sorry if it sounded like that, I'm not really chastising her, more continuing the commentary on the pose of charidy work instead of getting stuck into the hard work on behalf of constituents.The actual accidental MP has been a disgrace so far and she should be applauded her for getting stuck in even when not elected.

 

It's hard to see how O'Mara could gain anyone's confidence to act on their behalf now, especially women.

Your obviously not reading the same 2 sheets, 3 sides, of bumpf as me.

My stuff is as follows:-

 

4 - critisms of 'Teresa May's Torys'

1 - critism of 'Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party'

4 - moans about how bad things are.

 

Loads of stuff about her. Her address. Her husband. Her hobbies. Her C.V. Her fight against poverty and suffering. Her passion to fight inequality. How she wants to remain in Europe.

 

AND just 1 solid asperation described as her wish 'as our next MP'. Not described as Lib Dem policy'. Which is:-

 

That the public, not politicians, should have the final say on any Brexit deal - including the option to remain in Europe.

 

I don't agree with all this personality politics.
