“Biography:”

“I am a plumber and heating engineer working in many areas of the north east of England. ”

“Up until 2016 I was apolitical, with no strong political views and certainly none that I wanted to be vocal about. ”

“Then came 2016. ”

“Having carefully listened to both sides of the Brexit debate, I decided it would be a good idea for Britain to leave the EU. I therefore voted to leave. Having done so, when the results were announced, I was happy that the UK had signalled its intention to leave the European Union. ”

“To let you into a secret, at that time I would have accepted the result even if we had lost. ”

“However, we won. ”

“I then watched 3 years of lies and deception as politicians and civil servants went out of their way to stall the process. I could see what was happening and felt powerless and increasingly annoyed. Then came Boris with his oven ready Brexit deal which again was a farce but got him into power. Again, I thought, well that’s the best we are going to get. Then came Covid. As a plumber, I worked all the way through and took only the first tranche of the relief payments.”

“The government asked whether my business had been adversely affected; as it was not, I pursued no further payments. I then watched the government give millions away to con men and Conservative Party members and then make up lies to keep us controlled. All this time I WAS getting increasingly frustrated with the self-serving political class. ”

“Meanwhile general elections came and went, local elections came and went. There was never an option to vote for Reform UK. I thought, that if I didn’t feel I could ever vote Conservative or Labour and there wasn’t a candidate for Reform UK there must many more people that felt the same as me. I therefore put myself forward as a Reform Party candidate, not for myself but to give all those unhappy with the two major parties someone, and indeed something, to vote for. ”

“Throughout this period there have been immigrants arriving every day and again the government has shown no political will to do anything about them. ”

“I have never done anything like this before. I am looking for people who can help me in every way from advice to helping with leaflet drops and walkabouts. I believe if we can get the word out, send a message to the people, we stand a good chance of getting a result. I find from talking to people that some don’t even know about Reform UK, so leaflets and walkabouts initially will be most successful. ”

“Thanks again for your interest and I look forward to your replies and comments”
