Mr Wallace gives his reaction to be being branded a ‘closet racist’ and ‘fruitcake’ by David Cameron, and in turn says its the Prime minister who ‘must be crazy’.

Read Theo Cronin’s feature interview in the West Sussex County Times (14/02/13) and West Sussex Gazette (20/2/13), or watch the video above to hear more from John Wallace, from Pulborough.

Do you know someone with a story to tell who should speak to Theo?
