Hazel Blears seems very concerned about `empowering’ `working class communities’, so almost two months ago, as constituents, we wrote to her asking how the Salford Star can get funding, as the magazine `empowers’ the working class community in Salford. We’re still waiting for a reply.
Now, had this been any old MP we wouldn’t expect anything different but this is a government minister, from Salford, who’s going around saying “The job of politicians and leaders is to listen and respond, to have the very debates that people in these estates are having or we risk losing touch with them altogether.”
Judging by our experience, Hazel can’t even `listen and respond’ to people in her own constituency, never mind anyone else in the country. We think that she is a very rude lady indeed…
If there are any MPs reading this we’d like you to ask Hazel in the House of Commons why she hasn’t responded to our letter…
You can read the open letter to Hazel here http://www.salfordstar.com/article.asp?id=10
