GRIMSBY MP Austin Mitchell was reported in your paper today: “It’s a shame it’s winter because it would have been nice to see Kate in a bikini”.

Perhaps it is a good thing that he thinks he will be in the House Of Commons on that day.

Our MP likes his quips, many of them over the years inappropriate, but this beats them all - insulting and more than inappropriate. Shame on you.

I am thrilled that the Duchess of Cambridge is visiting us and hope she enjoys her visit.

    “I scrapped my old rusty Austin and this Austin is long past his sell by date. Enough Yorkies telling us what to do! We need a Grimbarian/or Meggy full blooded Yellowbelly because this is the beautiful green land of Lincolnshire, God's country! One of the few really English counties left .Tell the Yorkies to go back to Snaith, Crowle or Doncaster! They are so jealous of us because just to be born in Lincolnland the land of Tennyson and Captain John Smith gives us all a distinct advantage over the whole human race.Perhaps it was the clear Lincolnshire air that motivated John Whittle to invent the Jet engine in our green and fine county ,not to mention the first tank.Yorkielands only claim to fame is their Yorkshire Pudding.( Some people have even asserted that that was stolen from a Louth recipe.)”

    “No disrespect to Kate ( Duchess of Cambridge ) but pregnant women in bikinis do not float my boat even though they appear to turn Mr Mitchell on.”

    “Labour were outraged over plebgate, but they defended their candidate in the Eastleigh by-election for wishing Thatcher dead, so don't expect a murmur of disapproval from them over a few politically incorrect comments from our local Labour MP.”

    “This is an MP from the same bunch that removed the postcard paintings that were on display in Cleethorpes because they were not PC enough for them!

    It seem Labour thinks you can say and do as you like if you are one of them!”

    “Hmmm Mrs A Turner, PARK DRIVE, Grimsby. I'd imagine living on PARK DRIVE that you've never voted for Mr. Mitchell and if you've waited patiently since 1977 for the opportunity to take this swipe at him and over something as innocent as that, then life must be pretty boring in PARK DRIVE.

    It's to be hoped Mrs A Turner, PARK DRIVE, Grimsby, that you weren't similarly offended by the Duke of Edinburgh's Filipino comment recently, because people think that he rock 'n' rolls, just like Austin does.”
