Nicholas Soames Watch

Well it had to happen eventually as our media mogul spreads his internet waist line into a separate corner of this web s@ite!

The name is, my name is, my name is AKAKA Soames, Nicholas Soames.  He's Tory MP for the Mid Sussex area and appears to be doing more than his predecessor the lap dog Tim Renton used to do... well if you ain't writing a book you'll certainly have the time!  Anyway his appearances in the Middy have increased to meteoric proportions in recent weeks as our Tory Fat boy consumes the local publicity fetish'isms of local trivia.  And yes it looks like his left side is his best side...

(Cheers to the Larkin for the adopt an MP link!)

I've @dopted Hon Nicholas Soames, MP for
Sussex Mid!

18/11/99 Book tells of an extraordinary life 18/11/99 Book tells of an extraordinary life - never one to miss out on free publicity, MC Soames checked out Ottakers and helped an old man launch a book.  The connection?  Well Soames wrote the foreword!  Oh if you're somewhat interested, the book was by Fred Goddard!
11/11/99 Put Health Review on Hold says MP - hmmmm yawn
11/11/99 Soame's sharp words on bus cuts - demanding an explanation for the cut back in the bus service from Lindfield to Haywards Heath....hmmmm maybe cos they all drive german cars and have no time for the bus when they go on the school rat run!
25/6/99 Question Time - not content with local news, Soames decides to hit the bright lights of television.  His unique style of "being there" being brought to good use in front of the nation.
The gathered panellists Dimbleby tries hard not to fall asleep Smug pawn of Blair makes smug statement and ignores answering audience question
Soames disagrees Rarified Blair Moment Concern
I'll see you Jimme! Confused Handbags
Smug but correct comment Bloody Thatcher Popularist Journo, stirs the audience without a clear thought for the social consequences.
10/6/99 Watch Launch at Show - he officially launches Farm Watch at the South of England Show - hmmmm...
20/5/99 Soames' "reckless" blast - Kick Ass as Cartman would say, well he'd also say "Respect my Authoritay!"  Anyway as the bru-ha-ha over the closure of Burgess Hill police station, once again the media moguls best friend, steps into the fray.
18/3/99 Soames wants to see reds in Sussex - wot? has Noames see the communist light?   far from it... in fact he wants to see the reintroduction of the red squirrel in West Sussex- ah but the damn grey will always rue the roost.... errr
11/3/99 MP's support for school crossing - our man in the thick of it once more yes, he held an hour long session with parents and yes he goeth to the West Sussex County Council, but will he suck seed?  well only time can tell!
4/3/99 Soames calls for safer rail station - he maketh some suggestions about improving Wivelsfield Station.  Errr  Rail Track had already announced that they were considering rennovation work.  A timely media pummel, or a case of coincidence?
4/3/99 Comic Relief - never one to miss a photo call, even if its for chara-deee!

25/2/99 Snide about our MP (Middy Mailbag) - Mr Haywards pips up for the Soame's - damnit the man done good for once, and it did not demand a press call!

25/2/99 Soames blasts hygiene tax - About two weeks after the "Government" announced it, our media glutton MP sticks his oar in!  Well not to be one left out eh?

18/2/99 Private Eye - Soames also get s name check in national satirical magazine Private Eye (footnotes), this man knows no district bounds does he!

18/2/99 Lost Opportunity to Promote Rail Business (Middy Mailbag) - Soames is dissed by JD Gamble who recalls a less than solid Soames moment! - Damnit Soames stop the rot stop it now!

18/2/99 Missing the Point (Middy Mailbag) - Gill Balsdon fires a salvo of truth from the picket fences of Liberal Democrap, dissing the boy Soames and the lack of results (shoorely shum mistake?).   "I'm sure other local politicians will query Mr Rankin's assertion that Mr Soames is, "the only politician I've met by accident on the streets of World's End".  Mr Soames' (shouldn't that be fattie Soames?) appearance was no accident, it was a well known photo opportunity, how many were in the crowd?".... "What we must not do is promise the impossible (well politicians eh?)

18/2/99 Serving Up National - The Soames did a photo call at the Dolphin Leisure Centre who were holding the Liverpool Victoria National Badminton Championships.  Here our media savvy MP takes time to be pictured with MSD Counciller and Umpire Mike Gilks.

11/2/99 Page 5 feedback on the meeting re: rail, Page 11 All Smiles as farm is saved Page 5 feedback on the meeting re: rail, Page 11 All Smiles as farm is saved - yet another photo opportunity as Fattie Soames indulged in some husbandry as he is picture alongside Butch the sheep. (the sheep had to be put down.... sorry only joking!)

04/02/99 Blast from Soames - kicking ass in the Commons is Soames the new torynator?  "This is the latest blow in Labour's attack on the elderly and their savings and it is about time that they heed cross-party advice and scrap this damaging attack on poor pensioners!"

04/2/99 Why Critcise My Concern? (Middy Mailbag) - Fattie Soames hits back at his less media whorish critics in his open letter - dissing the views of Gill Balsdon (and practically 90% of the area in turn!), who claim that our true blue boy "photo opportunity... quick and easy publicity" was just that.   Well in an ironic twist the Rankin of Burgess Hill writes in support, however placing one's proverbial size 10s in one's gob then writes "the issue of road traffic and pedestrian safety in World's End is a recurring one".  Soames sort it out...

04/2/99 MP's date with traders - Burgess Hill business community will be quizzing MP Nicholas Soames next month, when he address the Burgess Hill Business Alliance for the first time since its launch in December.  The meeting will be held at the Martlets Hall on March 19 from 3 to 5pm.  To make maximum use of the seession, questions should be submitted in advance to Susan Fleet by March 12 01444 235475 or fax 01444 871577.  Oh and some ask him to sort it out!

28/1/99 Survey Shows Companies Are on the Wrong Track- Fattie Soames is at his media whorish best again, with yet another name check concerning rail services.  "I shall be looking for much greater effort on their part" . Dammnit Man do something!!

14/1/98 Danger Road: MP Calls for Action - having clung onto his election seat for dear life and living a relatively quiet political life, fatty Soames our local conservative MP for Mid Sussex was out doing some good in the Burgess Hill area in Leylands road - which was nice!
