What I believe...
CREDIT – I believe in the reform of the credit laws. Why should the banks increase a person’s interest rate when they get into trouble, thereby creating a spiralling circle of debt.
_______________________________________________________
CRIME & ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR – I believe that crime and anti-social behaviour should be punished. Being a member of society means that individuals have responsbilities to it.
_______________________________________________________
ECONOMICS – I believe everyone should share in the wealth of this country. The law should be changed on corporate responsibility, putting local communities and the environment higher-up the agenda.
_______________________________________________________
EDUCATION – I believe in free education as a right for all our people. This includes academic and vocation education post-18.
_______________________________________________________
HOUSING – I believe housing is a right and not a luxury. I will fight for social housing, the new building of council housing and reform of Lewisham Homes to deliver on the decent homes requirements quickly and efficiently.
_______________________________________________________
NHS – I believe in the NHS, our greatest advancement. We must stop the creeping privatisation and the neo-liberal concept of the market in our health service.
_______________________________________________________
PENSIONS – I believe in the aims of the Pensioner’s Confederation.
_______________________________________________________
PRICE CONTROLS – I believe in new price controls levied against the energy companies, to prevent the huge price rises and unjustifiable profits of the utilities. I will campaign for the abolition of the unacceptable pre-payment meter charges.
_______________________________________________________
POVERTY – I believe in the eradication of poverty both at home and abroad.
_______________________________________________________
PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION – I believe in the reform of our electoral system to restore faith in politics.
_______________________________________________________
PRIVATISATION – I believe in state ownership of transport and the water industry, along with the banking sector. PFIs and other forms of experiments with the market should end immediately in our public services.
_______________________________________________________
RELIGION – I believe in freedom of religion, but the most peaceful society is a secular one.
