The evening in Corsham further reinforced my belief that we need a strong government in this country, and that the differences between our parties are too great to reconcile to take decisions in the event of a hung parliament.  In a hung Parliament the Lib Dems would be able to insist on their policies – so you need to know what they are:

• they don’t support prison sentences for under six months – which would mean criminals like burglars and drug dealers would not be sent to prison;
• they would join the Euro and allow European judges to extradite British citizens for an offence even if it is not a crime in Britain;
• they say Labour’s jobs tax would kill jobs, but support it anyway;
• they have not promised to protect the NHS budget;
• they want an amnesty for up to 600,000 illegal immigrants; and,

• they would scrap our Trident nuclear deterrent – and won’t say how they would replace it.

I recognise I am your local candidate here in Wiltshire, but your decision on May 6^th will influence what happens in Westminster.

Lord King stressed how “absolutely vital it is that we get more MPs into Parliament who have proven ability and experience.  Far too many ministers in the Labour Government and MPs in the past Parliament had no practical experience of anything other than politics, and the country has paid a very heavy price for that.”

“I am also particularly pleased that Wilfred is launching his campaign by highlighting the importance of newer high tech companies, particularly in the defence field. In the very serious financial situation that we face as a nation, the key question is how we are going to earn our living and pay our way in the world.  Companies like SciSys are exactly what we need to succeed in the years ahead.”

The Battle Bus then rolled into Chippenham High Street where we met many constituents and thank you to all the youngsters who leant their support.

Then late afternoon we moved over to Bradford on Avon and greeted commuters coming home and then went canvassing.

Thank you to all my volunteers.  If you would like to get involved please email: wilfred4change@gmail.com

Voting for any candidate other than myself in this General Election risks another 5 years of Gordon Brown at Westminster – the Liberal Democrats will not get enough seats to form a government and if they win here, it is one less seat for David Cameron to form a majority with.

I am not a career politician and will bring a fresh perspective to Westminster. My experience in business and life, means I am now at a point to give back to my community here in Wiltshire. Now the campaign has started you will be able to find me out even more around Chippenham and the surrounding towns and villages – please watch this website for details when he is near you and do come and say hello and ask questions or if you would like to get involved with the campaign please email wilfred4change@gmail.com

Network Rail advised at the meeting that the aspiration would need a fully-funded business case with backing from the industry to proceed. Councillor Dick Tonge explained “we are delighted that Wilfred has arranged this meeting today. It has clarified the railway industry’s policy. We now need to talk to First Great Western concerning the slots needed to accommodate Corsham. We have a number of other interested parties to approach all of which recognise the need for a station here in Corsham.”

I have been campaigning for Corsham station to be reopened since becoming the Conservative candidate.  Corsham has a population exceeding 19,000 and still growing. Public transport links are essential as the town continues to expand. Local support for the new station remains high, and I will do everything I can to get the station reopened, inviting Network Rail down today to meet with the key parties involved is essential to understanding how the project could move forward.

The Government is proposing to remove the British Forces Post Office from mainland Europe. Amongst other things, this will mean that all free post (under 2kgs) to British Forces personnel and their families, who are deployed in Europe, will stop. Please sign the petition to keep the British Forces Post Office from closing.

Please forward this on and on and on…….
