I DON’T think it is too much of a surprise that the Christchurch Conservative Party are having problems with putting together a committee.

We here in New Forest West have the same problem in that, our MP is also ‘old fashioned’ and rather at odds with the general public. Sadly, the trouble is that residents will vote Conservative and not, what their candidate, actually stands for.

I have for example always been a local. I even went to Twynham Secondary school, as it was then in Hampshire.

I have worked in Burley, Ringwood, Bournemouth, New Milton. I have served on various committees (unpaid). I have been a carer, and companion plus a lot more.

Whereas, the likes of local MP’s such as Chope, Swayne and Lewis, were shipped in to win their seats.

They took us out of the EU, where we had been the 2nd strongest economy and 3rd largest member.

Now we are in competition with them, not partners. And yet we have always been Europeans!

They were Coronavirus and climate change deniers. The reality is, human-beings are destroying the planet. Do they care? Of course not!

Boris Johnson has jumped onto the band wagon spending money we don’t have. Nor will we, as the UK is in for a very long drawn out recession.

Because, we can now make our own Laws, he claims. We were making our own Laws! Indeed we were in the position to make EU Laws.

It all seems to be another, Trump, America. Only his supporters were allowed to have opinion in his favour, anything else was Fake News.

That is now going to happen to Boris Johnson. He will lose the next General Election, should he even stand and the Conservatives will be out of power for decades.
