00:00Two weeks out from the Olympics and if we are competing against the Conservative Party
00:05my teammates and I'll be saying they are a shower of s*** and if one of my teammates
00:10got caught for cheating they'd be dead to me. That abuse of trust is unforgivable so why am I
00:16still canvassing and delivering leaflets? Because I believe the Conservative way is the best for
00:21the country. Freedom to succeed, protection of national security and personal responsibility.
00:27If any party deserves to have the Union Jack on its literature it's the Conservative Party and
00:32if any candidate should have it on their shoulders it's me because I've been there.
00:36My home is in Colchester and Colchester is an ambitious town and what it needs is someone who
00:41is going to drive the business forward not accept poor housing with poor services and infrastructure
00:46and not accept a city centre that isn't moving forwards. What it doesn't need are councillors
00:51who've been part of the problems you've been moaning about on the doorstep to me promoted
00:56to be their figure in Westminster. You need a fresh voice and someone who isn't afraid to
01:00challenge, isn't going to take a backward step and isn't afraid to drive the Conservative Party,
01:04the right party back to where it should be.
