I think Gordon Brown has lost it now after what he said about that woman in Rochdale.

Shahid Malik has forgotten the area that voted him in. He must see what’s become of Dewsbury.

I haven’t decided yet who I’ll be voting for but I’m swinging towards the Conservatives. But I want to hear David Cameron and William Hague coming out batting a lot stronger for Britain. I don’t want Europe taking all our money and then making rules for us to follow. All small businesses are finding it hard. The supermarkets are trying to take all our trade and I don’t think governments can really help small businesses. We need local communities to back us.
