People often say that politicians have no experience of the challenges faced by people in their everyday lives.  I receive regular complaints from residents about anti-social behaviour and today my team of volunteers experienced it first hand. Delivering leaflets in Horn Park, one of my team - a visitor to Eltham - was on the receiving end of a volley of abuse and felt very threatened by two young scroats.  

They threatened to punch him and told him to get off 'their' estate.  And all because he was delivering a few leaflets.

Fortunately, three of us were in the vicinity and appeared very quickly, resulting in these pathetic young lads suddenly not feeling quite so bold.  My friend was understandably very shaken.  

These pathetic people obviously don't have enough in their lives to keep them occupied or satisfied.  I think that's a pity.  But I think it's very sad that good people have to live with these idiots for neighbours.  Be assured, I will be reporting the matter to the local police.  And we will continue to take our message to the decent majority living in Horn Park and other parts of this constituency.
