James Moore Rutland Parliamentary Labour Candidate Hustings Opening Statement Video
The following is typed as accurately as I could be as I listened:
James Moore lives down the road on the A47 Glaston near Uppingham
I have lived in Leicestershire and Rutland for much of my life. I am
currently a teacher at Leicester University. I have decided to stand
for this election with the support of the Labour Party because I am
very concerned about the future direction of our country not only about
our public services but also our economy in contrast to Alan Duncan's
comment what we have actually had is three and half years of stagnation
one and half year of bitter growth and now we see in the latest growth
figure which came out yesterday we can see the only sector which
is growing is the service sector, the building and construction sector
is going backwards. Manufacturing is basically bottoming out. That's
not a healthy economy, that's not a healthy society, I am also concerned
about the state of public services and you will know me from with
my campaigns with the fire service to try and save Oakham's second
fire engine, you will also know me from my campaigns to protect the
police from the horrendous cut that have been put forward which have
in fact already been put forward locally. I am also concerned about the
local NHS about putting forward better 24 hour care locally and
trying to solve the A&E crisis that is the platform that I am standing
on and fundamentally I think elections are about moral choice.
Elections are about making different choices about visions in society.
The Labour vision which is based on community, solidarity and
working together to solve problems, The Conservative vision is
based on individualism and in my opinion accumulating personal
wealth rather than public benefit. In short I think this election is about
creating a fairer Britain with Labour or a food bank Britain with the
Conservatives and that is the platform on which I am standing on
for this election.
