CONTACT YOUR MP - URGENT

14 October @ 4-6pm, Committee Room 10

Exit Westminster tube station for Houses of Parliament.

Entrance via Cromwell Green, on map

If possible, arrive by 3.15pm to clear security and ‘Green card’ your MP - make sure you know his/her name!

"If you have not arranged to meet your MP you will need to go and queue up at the information desk in the central lobby and you will need to collect and fill in a ‘green card.’ Once you have completed the green card and handed this to the information desk it will be dispatched to your MP. The information desk will be able to let you know quite quickly if your MP is not at the House of Commons"

Write a brief note on the Green card that you will be in the Central lobby until 3.45pm and would like him/her to meet you, or to join you later in Committee Rm 10 for the BED lobby for regulation of the refractive eye surgery industry.

If for any reason you are running late, please ask at Central lobby desk for directions to Committee Rm 10, where there will be someone to greet you at the door and take your name.

Re T shirts: a few people emailed me worried that they couldn't wear T shirts to parliament - you definitely can! Ties are for MPs and lawyers!

If you have OERML T shirt PLEASE wear it!

(I have one OERML and a few BED T shirts still available which can be collected on Wednesday)

If I've missed anything else you need to know please ask!

Just to remind those of you who are travelling a long way on the 14th October, to get a hotel booked asap if you need to do so.
For those of you who haven't quite decided whether you are coming along, I can only say that I am abandoning my poor hubby on his 60th birthday to be there...........so NO EXCUSES because numbers speak volumes!

Earlier today I met with John McDonnell at the House of Commons, our first meeting since he was appointed shadow chancellor, to discuss arrangements for Bad Eye Day lobby on 14 October.



Thanks to John, the press and media coverage of our campaign should finally meet my long-awaited expectations next month.

Also, John told me that Jeremy Corbyn has said he will endeavour to join us for the lobby!

What more could I ask for...

Oh yes - regulation

The one MP who backed Sasha Rodoy is now Shadow Chancellor - John McDonnell

Now we WILL be heard

BAD EYE DAY @ PARLIAMENT on 14 OCTOBER, 4-6 pm IS NOW ONLY 4 WEEKS AWAY - BUT STILL PLENTY OF TIME TO ORGANISE YOUR SCHEDULE!

ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THESE THREADS, ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE HAD HELP AND A VOICE THANKS TO SASHA RODOY - THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!

NO EXCUSES - CONTACT SASHA AND TELL HER YOU'LL BE THERE!!!

In a Channel 4 News interview on Monday, Jon Snow said to John McDonnell, "For many of the issues you’ve pursued the media have been hardly there, but they’re now very there!”



And they will be 'very there' for our Bad Eye Day lobby on 14 October

Bad Eye Day lobby is less than 4 weeks away, and thanks to John McDonnell the press and media will be fighting for space!

If you’re coming along and want to order a T shirt for the occasion, please email: info@opticalexpressruinedmylife.co.uk

BED is going to be a lot of fun - with some very special guests joining us!

I promise you won't want to miss it

I think it now safe to say that Bad Eye Day lobby (sponsored by John McDonnell) can expect high profile press and media coverage - 14 October @ House of Commons, 4-6pm, Committee Rm 10.

Absolutely fantastic news

In case anyone has missed the point: John McDonnell and I have worked closely together since 2012, campaigning for the government to regulate the refractive eye surgery industry.

One of a number I contacted in late 2011, John was the only MP who agreed to support me.

John is sponsor of our forthcoming Bad Eye Day Lobby on 14 October @ House of Commons.

Seb Corbyn (to Jeremy's right in BBC photo) is John McDonnell's Parliamentary Assistant, recently on secondment to his father's campaign team, while John was Jeremy's campaign manager.

Until I launched my campaign I was never interested in politics, while Jeremy's bid to be labour leader has had me on the edge of my seat!

Regardless of your politics, thanks to John McDonnell's association with Jeremy Corbyn, this is guaranteed to increase media interest and highlight the refractive eye surgery scandal.

Trust me, John knows exactly what's going on, and whatever position he is offered on the Shadow Cabinet, his seat on the frontbench can only be a good thing for my campaign, and a very bad thing for the high street providers - and all those who collude with them.

On 20 November 2013 John McDonnell presented a Private Member’s Bill to Parliament calling for government regulation of the industry:

Transcript: www.publications.parliament.uk/…/de…/131120-0002.htm…

WITHOUT YOUR ACTIVE SUPPORT MY ENDEAVOURS TO PUBLICISE THIS DEVASTATING SCANDAL ARE A WASTE OF TIME!

So please, join me on 14 October when we take 'My Beautiful Eyes' Campaign directly to Parliament - 4.00 to 6.00pm in Committee Room 10.

And it's urgent that you email your MP and invite them ASAP - because their diaries fill up months in advance!!

Please help lighten my load and email me for more info, or simply to confirm that you'll be joining me!
