Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Dear David.... isn't it time you unblocked me?
Before the election I emailed David Lammy at parliament asking him if he could arrange for me to give evidence to the home affairs select committee who were taking submissions on estate agent fees. I didn't get a reply, but then, I didn't expect to.
Since hoping back onto Twitter, which I'd been staying away from, I saw people that I follow retweeting his tweets into my timeline and that he still blocked me. He's not unusual in this, I am also blocked by Dianne Abbott and Alan Strickland it seems.
I will also say that it is a complete co-incidence that the police turned up on my door to issue me with a harassment notice (since destroyed) after he threatened to call the police on me for harassment on the 19th of January 2014. He was nothing to do with this and the people who issued the harassment notice were the couple who tried to fix the St Ann's selection meeting.
BUT... I really don't think it's reasonable that as a nice normal constituent of his I continue to be blocked and call upon him to unblock me.

John, I feel your pain. There is nothing like being disenfranchised is there? Mark and I feel we have no MP serving us. David Lammy has been rude and unpleasant to us on number of occasions. Just because I was a local councillor in opposition shouldn't mean I get no representation!
At the recent election Haringey Labour knocked at our door (despite having a Libdem stakeboard in the garden) and asked to speak to our daughter (just eligible to vote). She was busy but I asked the canvasser to speak to David (about Wightman Road and what he is doing to address the issues with it) and she told me no, David wasn't with them he was in the Midlands, this was backed up by a colleague standing by the gate. (I had seen him across the road not an hour since). He obviously didn't want to speak to us and just goes to show that not all constituents are equal, especially if you are not in their gang (Labour).

This is wrong, once elected you represent everybody. It is obvious to anyone who knows how candidate selection works where Theresa May's weird policies (grammar schools, fox hunting) were introduced to Parliament that they were concentrating on selections, not elections, they took the election for granted.
David is an ex resident of the ladder and I presume that if he represented Hornsey and Wood Green that he would have no squeamishness with perhaps paying attention to the squeaky wheel of a predominantly middle class and articulate part of his electorate over there so I can't see that it's justified as an excuse to ignore me as a "first world problem".
By the way, I did see David campaigning on Wightman Rd on the day in question (5th of June?) and he looked a bit miserable and had an ice cream. I wanted to call out "cheer up David, you'll be a minister next week!".

It was actually 31 May. He even tweeted that he was campaigning in Harringay (Green Lanes). Doesn't give you much faith - blatant dishonesty!

Perhaps they were just keen Jeremy Corbyn voters and had not choice other than to support the local Labour candidate.

Oh yes it was the 31st actually, a Wednesday. I was in a Zipvan at the top of Lausanne Rd.

So not surprising. The more liberal someone is the less they want to be associated with the hoi polloi. Look at what Obama the great egalitarian has been up to since leaving office.
Lammy is just like the Clintons and the Obamas: craving cash, craving money, craving status that derives from wealth. He desires to be friends with the people in that stratosphere. And he’s doing everything he can to hobnob with them and to become one of them in mind, body and bankbook.
What happened to you is just indicia of that desire. Labour in the Corbyn configuration is all about bribing the electorate with entitlement after entitlement to remain in power, but dissociating themselves from such constituents at the same time on any personal or professional level.

Don't bring Jeremy into this, he;s after a kinder, gentler politics.
David is too sensitive. He'd make a good New Zealander, that is all.

He is lucky that he has a constituency that is 'default' Labour, following in the foot steps of Bernie Grant.
The man is vapid and if you read his 'Out of the Ashes' book you can see just how mediocre he is in his lack of vision!
Sad for Tottenham and Haringey.
Sad, sad, sad!
Why do you want him to unblock you? Why are you attaching such importance to such a mediocre character?

I want him to unblock me because I'm pretty sad that MPs are allowed to block their nice supportive constituents like me who have never given them a reason to block them.
