Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View PostPossibly. There has been quite a bit on telly and in the papers. Journos have a bit of a problem covering it because there are so many people standing.

Self-styled as "Lord Biro", Mr Bishop wants to overthrow the capitalist state, which he blames for turning the singer Elvis Presley into a "fat media joke". He thinks US President George W Bush is the anti-Christ who will trigger Armageddon. Other policies include imprisoning Cherie Blair to stop her reporting details of her sex life and placing CCTV cameras in Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg's bedroom.
and
Mr Nicholson, a former farmer, is running as an educational reformer. He advocates every child in the country being provided with an abacus, which he has developed, to improve their method of learning mathematics.
