In September your local prospective Conservative MP Jack Lopresti went off to Afghanistan to serve with the 29 Commando in Helmand Province and is now back ready for whenever Gordon Brown calls a General Election.
Jack has been in the Territorial Army for nearly three years and after completing his basic training was called up for further training before heading off to Afghanistan. Jack has always had a desire to serve his country both in Parliament and in the Army.
Jack said ‘It has been a life-long ambition to serve both my community and my country in Parliament, but I also believe passionately in what we are trying to achieve in the fight against terrorism.’
He continued ‘We now live in a world where all to often politicians end up sending our young men and women into combat without having actually been to war themselves. I think my ability to contribute to future debates about such decisions will be greatly enhanced by seeing action myself.’
Jack spent Christmas and New Year serving in Afghanistan and returned safely to his family in Filton early February. Whilst he was away he was in contact with local councillors and continued carrying out casework. He also kept an eye on the government’s plans to downgrade Frenchay and to build 33,000 houses in the area.
