In a recent controversial development Lord Biro was demoted to Deputy Leader by the Church Focus Team due to his age (62 yrs) and inappropriate behaviour in certain Nottingham pubs.
The new Leader is 'Lesbian Elvis', a female dummy, who was the star of Lord Biro's 'Armageddon Art Show' staged in Nottingham last summer (2006). Many dummies have heldpolitical office before eg. Ronald ReaganGerald Ford, Geoff Hoon, etc. But this is the first time that a female dummy has reached such a high position.
CANDIDATE'S STATEMENT
In 1997 I stood against Neil Hamilton at Tatton (116 votes) and was an inspiration to Peter Mandelsen see letter above. In 2001 I formed the Church of the Militant Elvis and stood against Eric Pickles in Brentwood, Essex (68 votes) and I stood in Erewash in 2005 against Kilroy Silk (116 votes). I've also stood in four Nottingham City Council elections the latest being Wollaton West 2007 (105 votes).
As well as being a painter and decorator by trade, I'm also an artist and a poet (pen name Lord Biro). My poetry has been published in various magazines and newspapers including The Independent, The Guardian and the Daily Mirror. An abstract drawing of Elvis - "Moody Blue" - won first prize at the Annual Graceland Art Exhibition, Memphis, in the "Non professional category" 1996.
Apart from being a keen fan of Elvis, I'm also interested in green
issues such as global warming, the destruction of the Amazon rain forest
and the attempts by Tesco to takeover the high street. I also like political
satire (Private Eye), seaside postcard artist Donald McGill, Andy Warhol,
George Orwell and poet Edward Lear.
Pet hates include - Big Brother, gastro-pubs, children being targetted by
big corporate brands, the New Nottingham Market Square and the mocking of
the working class by middle class writers etc.
