I am a proud Swindonian and hardworking father who is totally disillusioned with party politics and have decide to stand as an Independent with Debbie Hicks to give a voice to all of those who are tired of the stale red and blue duopoly that have merged into the same blob.

Full statement

I am not a politician but someone deeply concern about the direction of our country, the poor value we as taxpayers get.

While we welcome genuine refugees, mass immigration is an elephant in the room that is not being addressed. It is driving down wages and our quality of life, we need a fair system for all.

The banging of the drum of war by the red and blue uni-party is extremely alarming too, there is too much accusation and not enough dialogue.

I want to see my taxes spent on local issues instead of disappearing overbroad. We are extremely concerned of tensions in the Ukraine and Gaza where the blood flows but the diplomacy does not.

We are lucky to have such a great diverse community but we want to see less segregation and more integration being a Swindon family where everyone is included.

We are standing for peace and humanity as a beacon of hope in these dark times to bring diplomacy, understanding and above all trust. While we do not have the same financial resources as the uni-party and working full time, we invite people to reach out with your concerns,

I want to work for YOU and not the other way round as it has been for far too long now.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Swindon Manifesto:

PEACE NOT WAR! We want to seek peaceful solutions in Ukraine and Gaza. Taxpayers money should be spent in the UK and not sent to fund death and destruction when these issues can be resolved diplomatically.

Without immediate de-escalation, WWIII is inevitable and our children will be called up to fight as they currently are in France and Germany.

NHS REFORMATION The NHS is well funded by the taxpayer but lacks qualified staff. We want to reintroduce the nurses bursary and support junior doctors to make this an attractive career once again for British nationals. We should not be immorally pillaging staff from other country's who have their own shortages.

GAS, ELECTRIC, WATER AND OIL It is OUTRAGEOUS how we are paying such high energy Bill's when our island has it's own supplies.

We must take these natural resources back into public ownership immediately to eradicate unethical profiteering.

INTEGRATE NOT SEGREGATE We have an amazing diverse community in Swindon but there is a clear lack of integration. We want to build bridges and unite communities to break down these invisible borders.

END MASS IMMIGRATION We WELCOME genuine refugees, however the vast amount of immigration is economic putting pressure on our infrastructure such as housing, schools and the NHS.

Up to 800,000 net immigration a year is unsustainable. Many are exploited for cheap labour driving down wages, some are imported as modern day slaves from farming to the sex industry.

We need a FAIR immigration system to obtain the skills we need so there is a fair balance to get our infrastructure back up to speed.

END NET ZERO MADNESS We love our beautiful town and do enough through recycling and other schemes. We oppose ULEZ that is nothing but an agenda for control and higher taxes.

Labour have rolled this extremely unpopular scheme across London against the electorates wishes and have spoken about implementing this across the UK.

SAVE OASIS HALL AND SPEEDWAY

No ifs, no buts, both of these important aspects of our heritage must be preserved.

AXE TV LICENCE TAX It is appalling people are forced to pay £170 a year to watch live TV funding the BBC even if you have no intention of watching it.

KEEP CASH The uni-party want to remove cash from our lives by implementing a Central Bank Digital Currency. This is very dangerous as it will invade our privacy and allow rationing by controlling what we can and cant spend our money on. This is a particular concern with talk of 'carbon credits'.

Cash is our most basic form of democracy and should always be kept as an option.

ELECTROAL REFORMATION The current First Past the Post election system is used so that the red and blue duopoly retail power by giving us the illusion of choice. We must adopted a Proportional Representation system so that EVERY vote counts and EVERY voice is listen to.
