  Dammed if you do, damned if you dont....Politicians cant win no matter what they do.
  
  In a few years Theresa Villiers is likely to be a Government Minister with responsibility for roads. Nigel will be there lobbying for better road infrastructure for Dover, he will have met her and he will have discussed our local situation. Not only here on the ground in Dover but at meetings and Conferences too. Are you telling me that this 'on the ground' visit will not have helped his lobbying process?
  
  And, Howard, no it was not just a photo call. I was not involved, though I could have met her, I was otherwise engaged that day, but I am aware that it was more than a photo call.
  
  This, however is not just a question of this particular visit. The critism has been launched against all such visits by leading politicians of whatever Party. If aimed at this visit then the stupidity of this line of attack would be more starky emphasised, given that it would not be aimed at the party in power with the ability to take the action needed.
