Jermain Jackman: Tories are ‘robbing a generation’
Voice’s Jackman hits out at youth service cuts
THE Voice winner Jermain Jackman has spoken out against the Tories, saying their cuts to youth services are “robbing” a generation.
The 20-year-old singer from Hackney, east London, became a household name by winning the BBC talent contest last year with the help of mentor Will I Am.
But Mr Jackman insists he would not have made it without the support of publicly funded projects which are now facing huge cuts.
