Engels Maiden Speech
// October 21st, 2005 // Uncategorized
My member of parliament Natascha Engel made her maiden speech today. She spoke about our area and of the good that Labour had done with regeneration efforts. She gave compliments to Harry Barnes her predecessor, who, despite being a labour MP actually managed to be pretty good.
She did pay tribute to socialism and trade unionism, saying that True socialism and trade unionism, [are] the very roots of the Labour movement…
They might be at the roots however I find it hard to believe that they are at the head.
There’s a “question time” style debate on tonight with her at in Tupton l, I can’t see me making it though.

“From the ashes of coal dust and the coking plants, we have grown higher-tech, higher-skilled and more highly paid jobs.”
Priceless. Shakespeare would be impressed.
The score (Engel) so far:
New Labor Rhetoric 1 : Local Democratic Understanding 0
Where was she speaking in Tupton, Dean ?
It was on Nethermore Road, at a community centre or something similar (can’t remember off the top of my head now). I think it was mentioned in the Derbyshire Times. I didn’t make it anyway…
The speech was very “…..”, I suppose she’d spent hours upon hours rehearsing it too, trying to reassure all of her “scargillite constituents”, that she is all for strong trade unions and socialism and not just a parachuted in Blairite.
