Duncan Hames, the new Liberal Democrat MP for Chippenham, has spoken of chasing after a man who snatched a woman’s bag in his constituency.
From the BBC:
Liberal Democrat Duncan Hames said he had been sitting in his car at traffic lights on Friday when he saw the theft.
He pulled over, spoke to the woman to make sure she was unhurt and chased after the thief through Monkton Park.
He said a cyclist who also saw what happened managed to retrieve the bag. Mr Hames said he had reported the incident to Wiltshire Police.
“I pulled my car over as quickly as I could, spoke briefly to the lady to make sure she wasn’t physically hurt, then ran into the back street’s car park to see if I could catch the person who snatched the bag,” Mr Hames said.

Even if there’s a lot of complaining about the coalition (some of it entirely justified), this shows we have some absolutely awesome people as Lib Dem MPs 🙂
