Loony Party spotted in Southall

Ealing Southall

Since a local by-election is coming up, I’ve had two political visitors today. One was a young man passing out a survey on behalf of the Liberal Democrats, asking local opinions of street cleanliness, crime, and green space. They said if I filled it out and left it sticking out the mail slot in our front door, they’d come by and grab it later. I happily did so.

The other visitor was a fellow who was trying to gather the 10 signatures necessary to run for Ealing council as the local Official Monster Raving Loony Party candidate. I’m all for electoral choice, so I signed his petition (I was the first). I was disappointed that he seemed to be one of the more sensible members of Screaming Lord Sutch’s satirical party, but he was quite polite.
