I am Darren Burns your Reform UK candidate for Bootle.

Full statement

I'm a 56 year old man who has lived in England and the U. K. most of my life , besides a Fourteen year overseas engineering career in Australia. I'm a Mechanical Engineer who has worked for a number of Blue chip companies such as Colgate Palmolive UK, Ford Motor Company of Australia and Danone Australia amongst others. I'm a straight talking person who will not tell you something just because you want to hear it ! I stick up for and do the right things by my family, friends and community. I have a vast wealth of life experience, from being brought up in a poor working class family, but with good respectful standards. I educated myself and went to college to get my qualifications as an engineer. Like everybody I've had some good jobs and times but lots of bad ones. I know what it's like to be poor and at the other end of the scale quite well off. I know what it's like to be addicted to Alcohol and how it can destroy lives, I was an Alcoholic, but I gave up 1 year and 4 months ago and it's the best thing I've ever done. I've seen plenty of life and death around me through the year's. But at the end of the day I'm still here and I'm a fighter and I cannot sit back and watch this great country of ours go down the drain. WE ALL NEED TO STOP THESE INGENUINE PEOPLE AND ORGANISATIONS FROM DESTROYING OURS AND OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE ! So please understand me, what you see is what you get, I've got no time for nonsense, If you like me? You like me If you don't that's you choice. I am loyal and supportive through to my bones, and will not let my fellow people, community or country down !!! I won't say I promise anything, because that's what all politicians do and that's why we're in this mess now. But all I will say is, with whatever resources and power I've got, I'll use it for yours, the community's and the country's benefit, pure and simple! Together we will nurse our country back to health, happiness and prosperity

Happiness, Happiness is the greatest gift that we possess ( As a great comedian from Knotty Ash once sang )

Live free and be happy people

Darren Burns
