The sixth day of Christmas: 6 useless MPs


On the sixth day of Christmas my council gave to me
Six useless MPs*
Five eco-villages
Four supermarkets
Three point four million pounds for an airport
Two Truro park and rides
And a stadium entirely for free
...............................................................................
* Cornwall’s MPs pledged themselves to fight the Coalition Government’s obliteration of Cornish distinctiveness and the reinforcement of our status as an insignificant English county by resolutely opposing a cross-border Devonwall constituency.

Steve Gilbert and Sheryll Murray rally for Cornwall

All six MPs ended up voting for the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Act which introduced this.

Cornwall is now regarded as less worthy of special treatment than the Isle of Wight.
