Norwich UKIP candidate quits his job

GLENN Tingle, the UK Independence Party's parliamentary candidate for Norwich North, has committed himself full time to his 'Clean Start for Norwich North' by giving up his job as a contracts manager for a local engineering company.

He said: “I did not feel that I could fully commit myself as a candidate, while trying to hold down a job. For me, the 'Clean Start for Norwich North' campaign is far too important to be going at it with anything less than 100% concentration.

“It was also unfair to my employer. The voters are crying out for a fresh start and they won't get that from any of the other parties.”

Mr Tingle said: “The Tories have chosen a youngster, who works in London and who has very limited knowledge of local issues and the Liberal Democrats have brought in a candidate from another local constituency. The Labour Party is in meltdown.”

Mr Tingle will sign the clean campaign pledge which is also backed by the Greens and the Tories.
