Local Lib Dem Gary Fuller has expressed absolute dismay at the failure to commission appropriate mental health services for 8-11 year olds with Autistic Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit & Hyperactivity Disorder in Folkestone and Ashford, as reported on the BBC Breakfast South East Bulletin this morning.

Making Coalition Work
"I have to say we have been very lucky to have had the Liberal Democrats in government; cutting income tax for the lowest paid, marriage equality, defending the Human Rights Act against those in the Conservatives who would wish to repeal the Act, free school meals for primary school children, trying to reform our tired old political system by having a referendum on the electoral system and attempting to reform the House of Lords and finally arguing to remain as part of the European Union in the face of an increasingly Eurosceptic, right wing Conservative Party."
