From Rock Bottom to Real Change — A Story of Recovery and Redemption
I know these problems because I lived them. I rebuilt. Now I’m using my story as a platform for change that matters
Fix Our Country
— With Real People
Bill Doody
From addiction, homelessness, poverty, and prison to UK Top Secret clearance and national leadership. I know what works, what fails — and I believe lived experience should drive real reform.
Blessed by Recovery, Driven by Redemption — Sharing My Story to Inspire
Who I Am — And Why It Matters Now
William (Bill) Doody is a straight-talking voice from the real world — a survivor, a professional, and a reformer whose story challenges the status quo.
From poverty and prison to UK Top Secret clearance, from addiction to leading national programmes, Bill brings hard-won insight to a country in desperate need of change.
With roots in construction, consulting, and justice transformation, he doesn’t just understand broken systems — he’s lived through them, rebuilt from them, and now has a clear vision for how to fix them.
After 12 years abroad, he returns to the UK with fresh eyes — and a heavy heart. Distance has made it painfully clear how far the country has drifted from the values and fairness he once knew. He’s coming back not for a title, but to serve — determined to put things right with the lessons only lived experience can teach.
His journey is raw, redemptive, and rooted in responsibility.

What Matters To Me
The issues I care about aren’t drawn up in think tanks — they come from the ground up, from lived experience.
I’m not here with a party pitch or polished slogans. I’m here because I care — about this country, about the people being left behind, and about the systems that keep failing them.
These aren’t abstract policies. They’re convictions shaped by life — and a determination to make this country work better for the people who keep it going
Prioritising Our People
Putting our citizens first — not last
Public services should serve those who’ve contributed the most first. I’ll fight to ensure housing, schools, and healthcare prioritise the people who’ve built and sustained our communities.
Cut Crime. Restore Justice
Hard truth from someone who’s lived it
Justice must be firm where it has to be, and smart where it can be. With lived experience of the system and leadership in reform, I’ll push to cut crime, reduce reoffending, and clear the courts backlog
Secure Borders, Fair Laws
Control we can count on
We need an immigration system that is firm, fair, and effective — stopping illegal crossings and enforcing the rules without losing sight of our values and security.
Rebuild Skills and Opportunity
Trades, training, jobs — not bureaucracy
This country needs more trades and real skills that drive growth — not layers of managers. I’ll back working people, rebuild our skills base, and make sure public spending delivers genuine opportunity and value.
Stop the Waste
Your taxes should work as hard as you do
I’ve seen waste up close — from government departments pouring millions into IT systems that never worked. I’ll fight to cut pointless bureaucracy and hold government to account. No more blank cheques, no more contracts without clear deliverables.
Early Intervention for Youth
Catch them before crime does
I believe in tough love and second chances. Poverty too often drives young people into the cycle — that’s why we need skilled mentors, clear boundaries, and targeted investment to break it early, before they get trapped in crime.
Stand Up for Free Speech
Protecting our right to speak freely
We are losing the freedom to speak truth without fear. I’ll defend free speech and push for open debate that strengthens — not divides — our communities.
Leadership That Listens
Real talk. No spin.
I rebuilt my life from addiction, poverty, and prison to national leadership. That’s why I’ll speak honestly, fight for fairness, and never forget where I came from.
Cut the Bureaucracy
Free up time to serve the public
Civil servants, teachers, nurses, and frontline staff spend too much time buried in forms and tick-boxes instead of serving people. I’ll fight to cut pointless paperwork, scrap duplicate systems, and make sure public money goes into staff and services — not process for process’s sake.
Back Up Our Police
Less paperwork, more policing
Police should be on the streets — not stuck in offices chasing forms. I’ll push to cut the red tape that ties up their time, recruit more frontline officers, and give them the tools that actually work — from radios to vehicles to IT. With more people, better kit, and less bureaucracy, officers can do what they signed up for: protect our communities.

Too many have been left behind by the very systems meant to protect them.

Immigration must be fair, controlled, and never come at the expense of our own people.

I’ve experienced it myself — and I know what must change for justice to work.
