Vote for Reg Keys
I remember last October, a colleague coming into work saying that someone was threatening to hang themselves from a lamp-post opposite the Labour Party conference in Brighton. That man was Reg Keys. He tied a noose around his neck as he clung to the post. But he wasn�t going to kill himself. He wanted to draw attention to his anguish at the death of his son Tom, a British soldier killed by a bomb in Iraq, and anger at Tony Blair who was making a speech inside the Brighton Centre.
Now Keys is standing as a candidate in Blair�s constituency of Sedgefield. Popular scientist Richard Dawkins writes in support. With a majority of nearly 18,000, it seems unlikely the liar will be unseated. But like S***hampton getting relegated, it�s a tantalising prospect.
