I would like to express my sincere thanks to Julie Kirkbride for all her help and support through the MG Rover crisis.

I would deeply like to thank her for all the help and support she personally gave me in getting the training I required, as I was having great trouble getting through all the red tape.

I would also like to ask where was Bromsgrove's Labour candidate, who I could never reach by phone? Maybe he was busy trying to get elected for Bromsgrove or was in hiding after the shambles his party had left all us MG Rover workers in.

I have voted Labour for many years and have now learnt my lesson.

I am now proud to say I will be supporting the Conservatives due to the work that Julie Kirbride has done - not just for myself, but other people I know and feel the same way as I do.
