Short Biography

I have lived in Calderdale all my working life, since 1981 in Stainland. Now self-employed, I have always been involved in the carpet and carpet yarns industry, starting as a junior at Crossley Carpets at Dean Clough. I have served as a local Councillor for Rastrick putting residents interests first, often in conflict with the local authority.

Too many odds are stacked against us in the north generally and in Calder Valley particularly. We need fresh ideas, plain speaking and determined people to fix this; people like you who will support us; people who will stand up for UKIP’s common sense policies.

Local pledges and core policies

Parents are best placed to care for their children; the same principle goes for the Government of Britain, it is best done by us. That is why UKIP seeks to leave the EU and bring our laws and government back home. This not only enables us to decide upon our own laws but also allows us to be in control of our borders and our territorial waters in addition to saving vast sums of money which can be better spent looking after our sick, elderly and disabled.

Scrapping HS2 means we can use this money to improve the infrastructure and transport links which the North so badly needs. This type of investment will really help to make the North a ‘power house’ once again.

Having control over our borders means we can end immigration for the next 5 years for those seeking low wage jobs. This will help wages for own workers to rise which, when coupled with raising the tax allowance for those on the minimum wage, means a better standard of living for Britons.

UKIP believes we should become less dependent on imported and subsidised energy. Any income from ‘fracking’ will be invested in a fund to pay for care of the elderly.

UKIP is committed to spending a total of £12 billion more on the NHS in England. We believe in keeping the NHS free at the point of need for UK citizens. Visitors from other countries will be required to pay for any health treatments or medicines. This is our National Health Service, not an International Health Service.

We believe in Britain and her people. We will always work to protect our values, our countryside, our living standards and our health service. In short our way of life. It makes common sense.
