These are people who left us when we were at our lowest, many of them the people who caused the problems in the first place and then ran away and pretended they had nothing to do with it. Why should we have them back?
When the real choice comes, the Conservatives will be there and I hope we can earn your support.
I want second chances for good people, for people who've their lessons for people who are showing that they know what they did was wrong.
