We contacted him in regard to a legal problem our Somerset based business had with a major public company. His response was rapid and highly effective - he met with us, and with with the opposing company on our behalf, and was instremental in getting that matter amicably settled. So different is our experience that I can only conclude that previous comments in this thread are politically motivated. We have no such motivations, but Mr Liddell-Grainger has certainly gained support from both managers and employees in our company. Our experience of Mr Liddell-Grainger is somewhat different.

In 2004 I was in extensive one-way correspondance with him, and eventually sought assistance from Anne Widdecombe who wrote to him citing my case. And what happened? He ignored her letter. So she sent him a second letter, and what happened to that? It was similarly ignored. Mr Liddell-Grainger has also ignored correspondance from a constituent whose wife is quadraplegic, a constituent with severe ME, a constituent suffering from organophosphate poisoning, and a constituent seeking to discover the whereabouts of an elderly deranged lady who had been removed from her home without advising anybody of where she was being taken. Mr Liddell-Grainger has no significant academic qualifications, and as far as I can discover, he has never had a proper job. His father was at one-time the head of Freemasons in Scotland, and owns an estate with a castle and about 3,000 acres near Ayton. As the eldest son, Nr Liddell-Grainger will presumably inherit this estate. In my opinion Mr Liddell-Grainger is a disgrace to the British parliamentary system and should be sacked.

I'll raise it with some MPs and their staff and we'll see whether there's something workable there. It is an interesting idea.

We simply had a responsibility to explain why any MP is excluded from the league tables. The my mind the most important story from the league tables is how well so many MPs are doing, and how many disengaged people are getting in touch for the first time. But you know, good news doesn't sell :) We didn’t pursue him – we didn’t even mention him in our press release.

If he's your biggest fraudster, you are doing very well. do you mind if I write this up for Recess Monkey? :) The question remains, why on earth did you pursue the man over 6 emails?
