By New Statesman

What do you do?

I am a craftsman, working with wood.

Where do you live?

Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

Do you vote?

Always – to deliberately not vote is disrespectful to those who fought for our freedom to choose a government.

How long have you been a subscriber?

About three years.

What made you start?

I realised that if I wanted quality journalism then I had to pay for it. The NS is excellent value.
