PADDY Ashdown was the speaker last Thursday at the North Wiltshire Liberal Democrats’ 2017 annual dinner in Malmesbury. He had much to say about the future of our country and this can be heard at https://soundcloud.com/br…/paddy-ashdown-malmesbury-dec-2017 .
A big thank you to all who came to hear him speak and to dig deep for our party funds. In the words of the great man: “if we don’t stand up for Great Britain, who will? The Conservative and Labour Parties aren’t, it is up to us, the Liberal Democrats, and stand we must, if we are to save the country from the terrible damage that has been done by two consecutive Conservative Prime Ministers, who have been more concerned with the fortunes of their political party than the country”.
Time now to take some time out from party politics and to wish all across North Wiltshire the very best for the season, a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Liberal Democrat Parliamentary spokesman for North Wiltshire
