- I've lived here all my life and although I've always been political I never considered myself a 'Conservative'. Marching against the war in 2003 I wouldn't have imagined myself standing for council. In 2006 I started to wonder what the point in complaining was if I wasn't going to do anything about it. I started attending Conservative meetings and realised that Tories are people like me.
