Sent John Thurso an email five days ago expressing concern about the recent Bill on communications privacy.
Got a two page letter today from his office in the House of Commons addressing the points I had made. Not saying that I agree with all he said but can't fault the man.
Many people prejudge John Thurso based on his background, but anyone who has ever spoken to him at a clinic/corresponded with him seems to get a genuine reply.
As you say, I don't agree with everything he says or does, but he definitely takes his job seriously.
Have to agree with both of you, he has always been prompt to answer any enquiry I have made and been extremely helpful.
He is dealing with an issue for me and has kept me in the loop at every stage.
Congratulations to John Thurso for being made a Privy Councilor, an honour to 'e County also.
Well said.Quote:

Its no honour for the County, just the old boys network again. More contacts for Thurso & more chances to make money for himself. All of Westminster needs reorganising & this old boys system dismantled. Privy Councilor, what function do they actually do & how much extra are they paid for it?Quote:
