When I lived in God's own city* I knew both of my MPs
The first was a principled, honest, hard-working man of the people he represented. A man who paid his staff in a time of unpaid interns, only paid himself the skilled man's rate of the area and donated the rest. Of course he had to go, so his own party deselected him and parachuted in the second guy.
I knew him, too. In fact, in the 70's and 80's we worked in the same factory and were both part of the union movement. A more venal, spiteful, self-serving backstabber it has never been my misfortune to meet - and I've met the Attorney General!**.
