IT is interesting that George Cowley "sees me in a new light," (You Say, Monday, September 20), now that he is aware of my working class background.

He asks why I'm not a Labour supporter.

Well, having grown up under a notorious failing Labour council, I learnt from an early age that Labour wastes taxpayers' money, doesn't deliver and lets down the very people it claims to represent - decent hard working families.

In contrast, Conservatives do deliver, provide better services and value for money.

So I have indeed stayed true to my roots and joined the Conservatives.
