Happy Mondays‘ Bez has officially launched his campaign to become the most unlikely member of parliament since Screaming Lord Sutch.
Bez – or Mark Berry as we might have to better know him – was in Salford yesterday (January 12th) to start his bid for a seat at the Houses Of Parliament on behalf of the Reality Party, handing out free beer to his prospective voters.
“Labour has let everyone in Salford down”, he told onlookers. “Supposed to defend the people and be for the working class, but now they only have ever-so-slightly different polices from the Conservatives.”
“We don’t want to get dictated to by corporate bankers who have formed the Fourth Reich. My granddad didn’t die in the war for fuck all.”
Respect are seen as primarily an anti-fracking party, but will also push for other community initiatives such as free public transport and free drinking water.
