Lord David Sutch has enjoyed the unstinting support of the silent majority since the early 1960s. Growing up in Kilburn, North London, he took his inspiration from Winston Churchill, Wing Commander... This description may be from another edition of this product.
SCREAMING LORD DAVID SUTCH is the leader of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party (OMRLP), a British organisation designed to lighten up politics. In his (ghost-written) autobiography, he tells his story from his early days as a rock-singer to entering politics and standing at his first election, to his later successes up to 1992, the books' publication date. Looking a little long in the tooth now, while we wait for a new edition this still provides a hilarious introduction to his barmy world and his policies. Try out this: he believes, if elected Prime Minister, he would: * tow Britain 200 miles south where it's warmer * go onto metric time (10 hours per day) * harness the power of cremated bodies as renewable energy source, while saving graveyard space.If this appeals to you, read on; if not, then you probably won't enjoy it. There's no real gossip about his life; he deals with his two marriages in half a page, but watch as he brazenly claims the credit for just about every major political event in recent British history, such as:* the downfall of Harold MacMillan * the downfall of Margaret Thatcher * the downfall of John Majorand just about everything in between. Great fun, as long as you don't believe everything you read.
