Clearly, Devonish Forester, you have no idea just how busy Mr Dowd is, representing the interests of his constituents not just in answering emails about irrelevant, distracting topics such as bombing Syria but being right there at the heart of what really matters, putting written questions to the government about important issues such as the 600th anniversaries of the Battles of Harfleur and Agincourt as well as the even more important Honours and Decorations Committee's Medal Review.

As for his speeches in Parliament about the things that are really important to his constituents - whose undying gratitude for his devotion to their cause is such that they vote for him, no matter how useless he is - then I can only point you in the direction of his agenda-setting utterances on the crucial matters where he challenged the government's claim about the type of missile used in the shooting down of Malaysian Flight MH17.

So busy is Mr Dowd that, of the nine times he spoke in parliament over the course of the 2014-15 year, he had to squeeze in two speaking sessions in the same day - and doing that when he was busy preparing for the 2015 general election, then just weeks away.

We should all be terribly grateful for all he does - and if you think I'm making any of this up, look at these links.
