So it has taken John Denham 12 years to realise that his government has entirely ignored the needs of young, white, working-class males. Luckily he has managed to see the light just before the election. Luckily for Southampton, Royston Smith, as Councillor for Harefield Ward has been trying to address this problem. When it comes to being sincere about issues, I know who the voters will choose.
