Dear Hallow Resident I have lived in this ward for 27 years, settled my family here, made friends here, played sport here, paid taxes here, drunk at pubs here and eaten at restaurants here. I have also helped to build a software business here that still employs several hundred local people.

I have never previously considered becoming politically active. Until now. The shambles and decay created in my lifetime by the traditional political parties hugely frustrates me. I want to do something about it. I want Britain to be ruled by common sense not the common market. I support UKIP’s values wholeheartedly and ask you to join me.
