Milton Keynes life branded 'lonely' and 'confining' by Mr John (BSE) Gummer
Anything popular will be used by politicians to make themselves appear 'in touch', whether it be 'webcameron' or 'celebrity BB Galloway'.
Milton Keynes is the famous whipping boy when it comes to towns/cities in the UK, possibly only surpassed by Slough and Staines. So, Mr John Gummer, the politician who famously got his young daughter to eat a beef burger at the height of the BSE scare is joining in by slagging off life in Milton Keynes. Basically he says that the place is so spacious we don't have any social mix, this coming form a Conservative who during the 80s was a part of a government who did more to destroy local communities than Sir Arthur 'Bomber' Harris.
Anyhow, I'd just like to say here and now that Milton Keynes is not like Mr Gummer describes, it is much more 'communal' than the London suburbs where I used to live. There is nothing so lonely as being in a crowd - as any Conservative MP should know.

LOL, thanks
It is interesting, our car died and for the past few months we have had to walk around MK, so his post was even more annoying than normal.
