Police called to Conservative MP Stephen Dorrell's office to deal with petitioning pensioners, Isn't it our right as constituents to see our MP?

A group of six pensioners who had planned to deliver a petition Charnwood MP Stephen Dorrell found themselves facing police and being accused of trespassing.

Bill Hill, 79, from Birstall, and five friends, had gone to Mr Dorrell’s surgery in Melton Road on Friday to hand over a 2,286 signature petition asking the politician to resign.

Their campaign is in reference to a job Mr Dorrell has taken with KPMG, which his constituents claim is a conflict of interest.
