Tired of pictures of the lovely Ms McVey

IMAGINE my concern upon obtaining my copy of the June 20 edition of Wirral Globe and rifling through it in my usual manner, to find there was no obligatory article with accompanying photograph of my constituency Member of Parliament, the fragrant and camera-blessed Esther McVey.

From pages three, four and five my aforementioned concern turned to consternation and from pages six, seven and eight horror and fury ensued in equal measure.

Horror that I would be deprived of the pleasures of the sight of Ms McVey in all her blossoming glory, brightening your readers' grey rain-filled lives with her sunshine smile.

Fury that an editor could have a heart of stone to deprive us of such pleasures.

However, the clouds parted and all was well with the world again when I turned to page nine to see Esther displaying her tremendous physical prowess to complement her undoubted intellectual powers and emerging victorious in the House of Commons v House of Lords tug-of-war competition.

I have no doubt that Esther didn't really need the help of any of her Parliamentary colleagues.

I am staggered how the lovely Ms McVey can manage to carry out all her many duties as an MP in London, be a Parliamentary Private Secretary, write a column for a rival Wirral paper and stay still long enough to have her photograph taken so often.

Come on Esther – do you have a clone you are not telling us about?

It's a good job that Frank Field doesn't have your publicity team.

There is absolutely no doubting Mr Field's expertise, commitment and experience serving both the Wirral and the country, but I just can't imagine pinning a poster of him on my bedroom wall.

I do not mind looking at photographs of the lovely Lady Esther of the Blonde, at least she is doing some thing somewhere for the huge amount of money she is paid.

We also see regular shots of Sir Frank of the Fields, also doing something somewhere for someone, plus himself.

But why is it that all our Members of Parliament cannot combine their forces together and urge the Government to step in and sort out the absolute shambles of Wirral Borough Council.

At the moment we are paying about five top executive managers to sit at home, following scandal upon scandal, disgrace compounded by disgrace, and all concealed under deceit, lies, mismanagement, maladministration, and absolute levels none governance by anyone in authority.
Costing Wirral residents millions of pounds every year.

"I do not mind looking at photographs of the lovely Lady Esther of the Blonde, at least she is doing some thing somewhere for the huge amount of money she is paid."

But that's just the point - whilst she's busy getting her photos taken, she's NOT doing the stuff she's paid for.

Don't fall for it. PR kids are paid big sums of tax payers money to make sure our politicians are seen to be doing things that get publicity, rather than spending their time doing the tough behind the scenes work that actually needs doing.

The drive for publicity over tough ( and less photo friendly ) action is one of the reasons our political system is in such a mess.

Congratulations, Charles Riley of Hoylake.

You have won (by a country mile) the award for the Most Meanspirited Letter of 2012, a remarkable achievement when we take into account the fact that there are still six months of the year left.

Analysts might suggest you were jilted by a blonde in a previous life?

No doubt Mr Riley sat back, having written then re-read his letter, feeling a great deal of satisfaction at his skilful employment of heavily ironic cleverness and self aggrandising smarm. Personally I regard his letter to be utterly pointless and I'm surprised the Globe printed it; thereby probably ignoring something a good deal more worthy of publication.

Nil Points, Mr R.

When the photogenic Esther McVey is being snapped she is promoting the political party she has a allegience for. That is part of her job.

Wirral Borough Council 66 elected waste of space parasites, on the otherhand if and when they are seen to be doing naff all, they are promoting the sheer hypocracy of politics within local government, aiding and abetting mis-mananagement, mis-appropiation, lies, deceit, false accounting, waste, bullying, and unparamounted poor management of very highly paid non elected Directors and Senior Managers, that we the long suffereing public employ.
Lets all work together and get rid of the trash withing WBC and demand an end to this lamentable farce once and for all. If that means bombard your MP with complaints then do it.

Personally I think the time has come for Charles Riley of Hoylake to reveal to the readership of the Wirral Globe (and indeed the Nation) which politician's poster he does have on his bedroom wall, and why?

Come on Charles, don't be reticent, the Wirral needs to know!

Just as a matter of interest, does anyone else "rifle" through the Wirral Globe, or is it just Mr Riley?
