On being recently elected yet again by the local mugs, HE DECLARES the war in Afghanistan to be his TOP PRIORITY!!!!!
At 1 minute 40 seconds into this short film Sir Peter Tapsell mentions the war before any other political issue, giving the definite impression that bringing this war to an end as quickly as possible is dear to his sincere heart.“….The three great problems facing the country which, ..I .... concern me very much in recent years has been, getting the war ended in Afghanistan, and in getting the economy right, and in renegotiating our relationship with the European Union…..” Sir Peter Tapsell.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Tapsell_%28UK_politician%29 Even his Wikipedia entry states, “He is opposed to the war in Afghanistan.”
Now read on:
Six out of the seven Conservative Lincolnshire MP's have recently VOTED IN FAVOUR of the CONTINUED presence of our troops in Afghanistan.
The following have voted with their party:
Boston and Skegness MP, Mark Simmonds
Gainsborough MP, Edward Leigh
Grantham and Stamford MP, Nick Boles
Lincoln MP, Karl McCartney
Sleaford and North Hykeham MP, Stephen Phillips
South Holland and the Deepings MP, John Hayes
However,
Louth and Horncastle MP, Sir Peter Tapsell did not vote ! He abstained rather than vote in defiance of his rotten Conservative Party, ON BEHALF OF HIS CONSTITUENTS, to stop the war which would have been the morally right and brave thing to do.
Sir Peter is 80 years old and in excellent health, he has had a long and privileged life, a life of considerable luxury and good fortune, he has been well-educated and has prospered, and has been blessed with two marriages and a child who is relatively safe and has not been handed back to him in pieces in a body-bag! Nobody has blown Sir Peter's arms and legs off, and he is still as fit as a fiddle. As Sir Peter approaches the end of his life, would it really have hurt him to defy the Tory Whip - for once, and to have done the right thing, and been a man of his word, by voting against this terrible war? Or is he going to be downright selfish right to very end, putting himself first before those he supposedly represents just like most of the other rotten scum in Parliament, up to his dying breath?
The motion, to support the "continued deployment" of British forces in Afghanistan was put before the Commons and was passed by 310 to 14.
(Yes, only 14 MPs voted against the continued, sick “blood sacrifice” of our young people)
As is usual with Britain’s gutless, lying MP's, they say one thing in front of the cameras to con the electorate (we, the mugs) but when given the chance to vote they don't have the courage to follow it through.

It was the same case with weak-spirited Gillian Merron (Lincoln Labour) regarding Post Office closures that, incidentally, are being privatised! A German firm has been lined-up to take over the Royal Mail courtesy of the EU, and the STUPIDITY AND APATHY of the British public.
Cowardly politicians with no backbone are unfit to be MPs!
MPs are supposed to be LEADERS!
What use is a hopeless scaredeycat, or a quivering jellyfish in a leadership role? What is the point of having a rotten liar making decisions REPRESENTING HIS/HER CONSTITUENTS?
