The Andrew Dismore Free Dinner Register

Mr Dismore enjoys a free bottle of water in Mill Hill

Long time readers will remember what fun we had with the Brian Coleman Free Dinner register. This series of blogs started on 15th November 2008. For many years it was the most single read post on this site. The list of Free Dinners (ie hospitality provided by people for Mr Coleman in his former role as GLA rep for Barnet and Camden) was immense and impressive. Given that we regulalrly brought this largess to the attention of the public, we have felt slightly remiss in our coverage of Mr Colemans replacement, Labours Andrew Dismore. Anyway, we are never anything if not fair. Sadly Mr Dismore's list is nowhere nearly as impressive. Unlike Mr Coleman, we can only conclude that Mr Dismore lacks Mr Colemans witty banter over the Oysters and Lobsters.

Mr Dismore has managed a couple of Free Holidays fact finding trips, but frankly he has to buck his ideas up if he wants to get the column inches Coleman used to generate. Anyway here's the list.

Now just to remind you how bludging should be done, here is Mr Colemans list from 2008. As you can see, he was a really popular bloke. As a blogger life has been so dull under Andrew Dismore!
