    Our local MP was David Warburton. He would probably say the same thing. But I think he was given the boot after some scandal or another.
    He was a crummy MP…

    This is my ones highlight reel, from Wikipedia and local press - 'he' is called Jamie Wallis.

    On 28 November 2021, Wallis was arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit after a car collided with a lamppost in Llanblethian, Vale of Glamorgan.

    On 30 March 2022, he said that he had "fled the scene" of the car collision due to having a form of post-traumatic stress disorder after being raped in September 2021. In April 2022, Wallis was charged with failing to stop following a road traffic collision, failure to report a road traffic collision, careless driving and leaving a vehicle in a dangerous position.

    In May he pleaded not guilty to the offences.

    On 11 July 2022 Wallis was found guilty of failing to stop and report an accident, leaving his car in a dangerous position, but cleared of driving without due care and attention. The court heard that Wallis was wearing "a black leather PVC miniskirt, tights, dark shoes and a pearl necklace" when he fled the scene of the crash, and that police "forced entry into the Wallis' family home address which was described as a 'mansion' and 'absolutely colossal', out of concern for the MP".

    Wallis is one of the owners of a company called Fields Holdings Limited, the parent company of Action Direct (UK) Limited, a former claims management company of which Wallis was a director in 2011 when the Ministry of Justice banned it from taking on any further employment claims work, following an investigation into the company's conduct. He remained a director until February 2012.

    In July 2010, a Freedom of Information request (2417) was made to Bridgend County Borough Council asking how many complaints or referrals to Trading Standards had been made about companies linked to him. According to the FoI response, Trading Standards had received 137 complaints about Action Direct (UK) Ltd, 166 about Fields Data Recovery Ltd, 151 about Quickie Divorce Ltd, 26 about Rapid Data Recovery Ltd, seven about Field Associates Ltd and 12 about Injunction Direct UK. The response also listed enforcement visits by Trading Standards against several of Wallis' companies. In January 2020, after being elected to Parliament, Wallis threatened to take legal action against the council over the matter under the Freedom of Information Act.


    A few things jump out:

    Is there a single politician that does anything remotely like a respectable job before going onto politics?

    How do they pass security vetting when they have criminal convictions - literally, the ordinary bloke or blokette in the street would not get security clearance with those convictions.

    He pleaded not guilty to crashing his car, running from the scene and not reporting it - despite it being his car and witnesses seeing 'him' run off, even his old man picked him up.


    What sort of sociopath pleads not guilty to something they so obviously did - even if the have mitigation, which the judge would then consider?

    As a footnote - 'he' came out as transgender after the car crash - but seems to have forgotten all that since actually being found guilty.


    I hate these people.
