For talking to your MP…
We know the political class is getting more distant from the toiling masses by the minute but one MP in Derbyshire has taken it further than most. The now unseated Robert Largan (Tory of course), of the High Peak constituency, was so desperate to avoid his constituents that he got them nicked for harassment!
Christine and Chris Hallam (mum and son team) ended up in the cells after loathsome Largan went to the cops complaining of harassment at his surgery.
The two, local Green activists, were there to lobby him legitimately. But rather than simply climb out the window or hide in a fridge Largan decided to massage the truth and make a few fictional statements about shouting and intimidation.
The Hallams got nicked and ended up on stringent bail conditions for nearly ten months. Funnily enough, straight after the election, local plod finally got round to listening to audio recordings made by the pair, and all charges were dropped!
