Oh well, at least he's a local lad...
;D
So many people have come and gone, their faces fade as the years go by.
Yet I still recall as I wander on, as clear as the sun in the summer sky.

I don't know if the story has been reported locally but Mark Simmonds is mentioned in the current Private Eye as speaking up in Parliament for the Coalition's NHS reforms whilst being paid £50000 to advise Circle Health, one of the firms looking to take over hospitals and other NHS services if the health bill goes through.

He did declare an interest on one occasion Trouble is Circle are reportedly in a whole lot of debt (£82 Million)  and made losses of £35M last year...

Dave Cameron just been interviewed on Look North re :  planned march against immigration on Nov 19th at Boston . my cynical mind thought Dave does not trust Simmonds with the job.
Maybe it was just a case of Mark being too busy with his sidelines to address his constituents .    Can we rely on Mark being in town to mediate on or before  Nov 19th?
