Mulholland Expresses Sadness at Examples of Disrespect

December 3, 2009 2:23 PM

Greg Mulholland MP for Leeds North West has spoken today about his great feelings of sadness upon learning that a man had been caught urinating on a war memorial in Headingley.

Days prior to the incident members of the Royal British Legion MPs club of which Greg is a member had laid wreaths at the memorial in a mark of respect.

Commenting Greg said:

"This really is a very disrespectful act and I think people have every right to feel very upset about this.

"You have to question the humanity of someone who can behave like this; I hope the courts see fit to deliver an appropriate punishment.

"The saddest thing here is that actions such as these completely undermine all the efforts that people go to every year to honour those who have died defending our country and it values."

    If you are a resident of the Leeds North West constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
