In this episode, I have a conversation with David Bettney who is standing in the Doncaster mayoral race for SDP (Social Democratic Party). We talk about his life, why he joined up with SDP, and his plans for Doncaster. David served in the Army for 22 years, completing tours in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan, and rising to the rank of Regimental Sergeant Major. Since leaving the Army, David has built and run several construction, logistics and storage businesses, and is now manager of a group of five companies employing over 350 people in the Middle East.Born in Mexborough, David’s campaign priorities are to champion British and Yorkshire industry, to provide better opportunities for young people, to work rapidly to end homelessness, and to crack down on crime and antisocial behaviour.Become a Paid Substack Subscriber:https://www.theworldofmomus.comDonate:https://buymeacoffee.com/theworldofmomusConnect with me:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/theworldofmomusLink Tree: https://www.linktr.ee/theworldofmomus00:00 Episode Promo01:24 Intro 02:28 Life of Bettney 20:19 Brexit Anguish 23:19 Why SDP? 27:42 Evils of Blair & Globalisation40:00 Thactherism & Free Trade Liberals54:42 Doncaster & Beyond 1:27:09 Closing Message - Outro#sdp #doncaster #localelections #ukpolitics
