Inverclyde and Renfrewshire West Constituency
Biography:
Who am I?
I'm a chartered accountant with a career in industry which has allowed me to travel all over the UK. I have a huge love of golf and particularly like playing on the challenging links courses on the Ayrshire and Lothian / Fife coastline. I enjoy watching football (sadly no longer playing) and think of myself as an ordinary man in the street who is fed up of the lies and repeated failures of the major parties. We desperately need Reform!
Why am I standing for Reform UK?
Reform UK is the only political party that is committed to scrapping Net Zero. Ordinary members of the public are the people who must pay ridiculously higher fuel prices to fund the various schemes to reduce our carbon footprint, even as China pumps ever more emissions into the atmosphere. We offshore our problems instead of dealing with them. Scrapping Net Zero will also help us gain Energy and Food Independence. Farmers should be allowed to produce food for the country making us less reliant on imports.
The war on the ordinary motorist is another of these elitist schemes. LTNs, low emission zones, 15-minute cities, speed cameras, inflated parking charges, all this takes ever more money off the average road user, as they dodge the ever-increasing number of potholes which make us look like a third world country. Next it will be road pricing with even more charges and even more cameras. But Public transport cannot be the only answer in rural areas.
I despair at the continual attack on Free Speech especially by SNP and Labour. Recent governments have sat and watched as universities, schools, the media, the public sector, and big companies, have been taken over by woke bigots who decide what you are allowed to say in public and in Scotland even your own home, under the shelved Named Person Scheme and subsequently enacted in the Hate Crime Bill. This is an assault on the liberty which we in this country have enjoyed for hundreds of years. Reform UK is tired of identity politics, and stands up for the right of ordinary, decent people to think and speak as they wish. We should all be treated the same, equality of opportunity not equality of output.
Please vote for me and together we can make Great Britain into a country we can all be proud to call home.
