My phone call with Emily Clifton

Hi, everyone (including Jackie Doyle-Price apparently)!

I have just got off the telephone with Emily Clifton, one of JD-P's minions, regarding why I have not received answers to any of the e-mails I sent during December and below is the recording of the call.

Apparently, JD-P (or, more likely, one of her minions) reads my blog and JD-P has basically based her non-compliance with her duties on an off-hand comment I made on this blog to sending her separate e-mails to "fuck with her head".  This is interesting because if JD-P has not got the time to deal with my correspondence, how does she account for having the time to read my blog?

I also think that to base your actions (or in this case, inactions) based on a blog, which by its very nature needs to be entertaining for the readers (or listeners), seems to be a little childish due to the ignoring of that basic fact regarding the nature of blogs.

Ms Doyle-Price should start to take a good long hard look at herself and ask herself this question - should I be answering my constituent's views and comments based on the actual correspondence or should I allow my actions to be dictated by my personal reaction to something that is meant for entertainment?

If I get a response from JD-P, either by phone or by e-mail, I'll post the results here!

Addendum: SoundCloud have removed the audio file from their server so I have relocated it here instead: Audio

The e-mail I received about this is posted below.

For your reference this is Case #: 566788


For me, this is a case of civil disobedience because if elected officials believe they are above the law then only acts of civil disobedience can be used to bring the truth out into the open.  Whilst Ms Clifton is not an elected official herself, she does work for one and, therefore, to bring to light Ms Doyle-Price's misconduct, Ms Clifton's right to privacy regarding phone calls with myself is suspended on my own authority as a citizen of the United Kingdom who wishes to engage in the democratic process and is being denied that opportunity by Ms Doyle-Price and her staff (including Ms Clifton)
