Mark France is shameless.
How can he, in all conscience, start a public petition then not see it through to its proper conclusion?
Why does he refuse to hand over the petition as that was the stated intention of the campaign group, supposedly on June 1?
Is something wrong with the petition?
If he does not want to release the original, although that is without precedent, why does he not photocopy the petition and hand it into the Bromsgrove Conservative office?
Show some respect for the people of Bromsgrove who signed the petition.
Hand it over!

A simple search revealed that in the 2.5 years he lived in Bromsgrove he has worked for a private sector firm looking after people with learning difficulties. He claimed he was being bullied by a younger female senior support worker. His next job was as a Council parking attendant. Again he claimed he had to work for bullies and after he tried to unionise the workforce they dismissed him but not before he tried start a grievance under the councils bullying and harassment policy. He failed. Luckily for Mark he could claim JSA for another six months as he was sacked. In case you're wondering JSA =Job seekers allowance for those who have worked hard to stay employed and have never needed to know what JSA stands for.
When that ran out Mark got another job in a school as a behavioural support worker. And poor old Mark, not having much luck, found that again he had to tolerate "Bullying staff… bullying kids… terrible atmosphere". His contract was cancelled.
Mark has been lucky enough to have been given 4 chances of employment since moving to Bromsgrove 3 years ago so far he has lost 3 of them "all due to bullies who try to cover up for their incapacity, their incompetence by exercising power over people more vulnerable than them."
This year Mark Anthony France landed himself his 4th job with the Deparment of work and Pensions (DWP )giving out JSA he's enjoyed but now he is taking action against his local managers "in relation to the bullying and harassment I experienced from day one on the job" ”
Mark has been off sick for a while, but it would appear only sick enough not to go to work , he is well enough run his campaigns to get rid of Julie Kirkbride and get the TV cameras in again to cover his story of how he is a being victimised and not capable of doing the job he is being paid for. He is now seeing a counselor on Tuesday ( paid by the taxpayer?) to assist him in gaining confidence! If you've ever met Mark Anthony France you would know that the size if his ego and that he is very articulate and can talk the hind legs of a donkey. He does not have a lack of confidence, quite the opposite. He is confident that he knows every trick in the book and he knows better than anyone how to exploit the system, his unfortunate employers and YOU the tax payer/constituents of Bromsgrove.
