Law and Order

Fred Thompson is tooling up for a run at the Republican nomination for President. Here he is speaking at the Policy Exchange in Stories Gate London on the 19th of June. He may look vaguely familiar...

What this blog is about

This is my view on UK politics as seen from an elected Conservative Councillor with some executive responsibility on Basildon District Council. My posts veer between matters of national interest, so those that are purely local to Basildon District or the Billericay ward that I represent. I make no apology for that. This is real politics. Issues of national import are widely interesting, but very local issues are often of greater interest to the community that is directly affected. Many web commentators seem to take a very jaundiced or dismissive view of local Councils, which seem largely informed by national press stories when a Council gets something wrong. I suspect such cynicism would stop abruptly if someone tried to build a chemical factory next door to where they live. The fact is that we need both the national political debate and the hundreds of local political debates to adequately represent our people.

This is how democracy works.
