I was born and raised in North Woolwich in the heart of London’s Docklands, attending Storey Street primary school and then Woolwich Polytechnic technical school until the age of 18.

In 1973 I began a five-year course in art and design at East Ham technical College and on its completion I embarked on a career as a freelance illustrator until retirement in 2016. 

I moved to Bexhill in 1999 and became a staunch supporter of UKIP. I have been a member since 2017.

Today this Country faces a multitude of threats both internal and external and we must fight to preserve our culture, history, Heritage and way of life, to honour the sacrifice our greatest generation made to protect this country from the dark forces that sought to destroy it.

There can be no surrender.
