“I believe we need to do more for our most vulnerable in society including our elderly and our young. I don’t believe we need to put up with antisocial behaviour and we should tackle crime robustly. Our courts should be giving out realistic sentences to meet the crime instead of choosing the soft option. I support building more prisons.
We should be proud of our Nation and stand up for our culture and heritage. I want to see far more done in relation to “truly” Affordable Housing, Health and Education and a serious resistance mounted to the scourge and nonsense of political correctness and red tape bureaucracy foisted on us by the last Labour Government.
I also have a keen interest in Defence and fully support our armed forces and I believe more investment should be made in equipment and personnel as we need to keep up our guard. There must also be better provision and welfare for the families of our armed services personnel.”
Jim’s interests include hillwalking and motorcycles but most of all spending time with his family. Jim is also a member of the Church of Scotland and a committed Christian.
“I believe that its time for a new way. People want politicians who will listen and get things done and they want leaders who they can trust.
Jim was the Conservative candidate for the 2010 UK parliamentary election, representing Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch & Strathspey, in the Highlands of Scotland.

Dear Mr Ferguson,
I read with interest your comments posted on 16th March 2010 last year about fuel pricing and how if The Conservative Party where to be elected how you would fight the cause to help The Highland Community to reduce fuel pricing. I would hope then you will read my comments and investigate the outrageous profiteering that is taking place with the Domestic Heating Oil Suppliers. I purchased oil in November at 49.5p per ltr plus vat, I have now been quoted .67p plus vat less than 2 months later, a 26% increase! I ask you to call for an Ombudsman for Domestic Heating Oil Supply as these prices need to be stabalised. With the recent severe winter weather and the need to keep our homes warm I feel we are being held to ransom and there is no justification for a 26% price increase within a 6 week period. This is simply a case of the oil suppliers profiteering out of peoples misery. The Conservative Government need to take steps to help maintain a stablised price system in the UK and put a stop to this highway robbery! The Conservative Government also need to look at removing the 5% vat on heating. I was always led to believe that vat was only added to luxury items – is it a luxury then to heat your home? We need your help as you promised in March last year – actions speak louder than words.
Yours faithfully,
Jeanette Beattie
