Dear Elector I've lived and worked in the Doncaster North constituency all my life and served your community as a volunteer Councillor on Sprotbrough and Cusworth Parish Council for 4 years.

Full statement

Prior to that, I was a member of Adwick Upon Dearne Parish Council for 15 years. I work for a family run business in Mexborough and am a TRUE LOCAL candidate at this election.

Many courageous British and Commonwealth Armed Forces Personnel and civilians sacrificed their lives or were killed defending our once-great United Kingdom from invasion! In recent years we have faced a criminally driven 'invasion by stealth' in the guise of economic/health migrants, historically but no longer referred to as ILLEGAL immigrants.

As well as the cost to you, the taxpayer, of in excess of £8 million PER DAY to support these migrants, the UK's infrastructure cannot possibly continue to cope with this situation when considering the recent downturn in the standard of living of many of our citizens! Add to this the dire situation of OUR NHS (NATIONAL Health Service) and lack of NHS dentistry, both funded by YOUR taxes and National Insurance, and it's obvious to see that this situation can no longer continue.

A similar situation exists regarding the lack of affordable or supported housing, especially for our younger generation and Armed Forces veterans, the latter of whom have made great personal sacrifices on behalf of the UK. Despite the launch of Operation Fortitude, an innovation to try to get homeless/rough sleeping Armed Forces veterans off the streets and into safe and secure accommodation, there's been a 14% increase of instances between 2022 and 2023*. In short, the BRITISH DEMOCRATS will always give priority to UK born people!

We need to effectively tackle crime, especially of a serious, dangerous and damaging nature and have a zero tolerance to the growing drugs and gang culture which are a blight on our society.

Regarding 'green' issues, I endorse no more building on our beautiful green spaces. Protect our greenbelts, ancient woodlands and agricultural lands. Only use brownfield sites for future property developments.
