I take it from the responses so far that no one is going to congratulate Richard Taylor? Even the most hardened of MP's on the political front congratulate their opposition on their victory, it is the very English way of doing things.
Congratulations Dick on your victory.

I sent a message to Dick this morning on his mobile saying Well Done and he replied Thanks.

I liked Roys favourite saying - 'do you know who I am'
Good riddens to bad rubbish.

Congratulations to Dick on getting elected i know how much you've wanted this seat.

Message to everybody has to be, now that the dust has settled and things have calmed down.

" How about working together, gaining everybody's trust and getting Featherstone to where we all know it should be"
