With local elections here in Croydon in May, we speak with David Booth, Reform UK candidate for Kenley.
“We badly need to be governed by people who care about the country’s future”
Can you introduce yourself to our readers, and tell us what made you decide to run?
I am standing for Reform in Kenley because I am fed up.
We badly need to be governed by people who care about the country’s future. At the very least, that means keeping us safe, defending our borders, protecting our institutions and respecting our history. Labour is doing none of those things. The Tories are once again talking conservative but they have shown repeatedly that they cannot be trusted in power.
Between them, the established parties have also driven the economy into the ground, by destroying incentives and losing control of spending, locally as well as nationally.
I am hopeful for the future too.
Reform has put together a programme to put things right, including radical legislation to restore the sovereignty of parliament and start rebuilding Britain as a prosperous, multi-ethnic but culturally coherent, nation-state, based on mutual respect and love of country.
We have exciting plans – set out in “Croydon Needs Reform: Our Contract with You” – to begin this process after the local elections in May.
I was brought up in Essex and spent a long career in research and teaching. My home has been Purley for the last 25 years and I spend much of my leisure time in Kenley. The common, and the airfield and its traditions, are close to my heart.
I shall be proud to represent the interests of the ward if Kenley voters choose to elect me.
