Constituency Association Chairman and Secretary
 

With the resignation of Steven Morson, who stood as our Parliamentary Candidate in 2010, winning 2,950 votes, John Coleman has taken over the helm for the second time.  John helped to found the branch in November 2000 and held the post of Chairman for almost 5 years.

John describes himself as a Midlander, being brought up in Tamworth and in North Staffordshire for 20 years.  He read Physics at Birmingham before taking a post as a Medical Physicist in Lincoln.  In 1971 John came to Bromsgrove to stay for “2 or 3” years with his wife Pam and baby Helen, all of whom are still here some 40 years on.  John worked at Bromsgrove College; a second daughter (Rachel) arrived, and after a few years, all were occupied in Education, one way or another, in the town. Two husbands and four grandchildren came along later, half of whom are also living in Bromsgrove.

Politics can be a complex matter, but John has a simplifying principle as a guide: “Whether we prosper or not I want to live in an Independent Britain.  We may make a mess of things, but we could hardly do worse than in recent years, and at least we could take the decisions for ourselves; do others know better?  Other nations have had to fight for their independence; we only lost once in 1500 years. Now we are giving it away, bit by bit.  I want to be part of the fight to reverse that.  Please come and join us.”
