LET THE TRUMPETS BLARE!

[jumbojak]

Let the drum roll BEGIN! For you entertainment and amazement I present to you...... the next Green Party candidate for MP in Yorkshire England: Our very own lion tamer! That's right folks, my lady is running for parliament.

Now that theatrics are out of the way, I'll be expecting campaign contributions from all our British members.....

[Crow]

Oh Yorkshire is fucked now?

[Claireliontamer]

Thanks Crow!!!!!

To clarify...I'm not yet standing as an MP, I've just been nominated;  have to wait and see if anyone contests it first.  I think JJ is a little excited.........

[Biggus Dickus]

Wow I think that's fantastic Claire, simply wonderful news, if I could vote for you I would, and tell OldGit to make a contribution to your campaign in my name (I'm good for it )

I wish you good luck, and try to contain yourself JJ ;

To think I know the future PM of England, wow!

[Tank]

Congratulations on the nomination. Is it likely to be contested?

Not sure.  It's the first time in Leeds that we're aiming for a full slate of candidates so it's all pretty new.  We've had a 275% increase in members since the start of the year though so who knows who may come forward!

Thanks Bruno, it's quite exciting just to get nominated, as for PM well who knows

That's so cool!   Congrats on the nomination, Claire!

[Recusant]

I hope that everything works out for the best for you, Claire.

Wow! I am impressed and certainly proud that Claire has even been mentioned for the office of MP.

It is sad to say that she will almost surely need to stay in the closet.......unless I read the Brit electorate incorrectly.

If you mean that she'll have to not proclaim her atheism then you may have read the situation incorrectly. A politician's theistic/atheistic stance is rarely mentioned over here. The exception being those attempting to gain a foothold in a theistic community. Unfortunately should Claire get to be an MP it won't be her theistic inclination, gender or politics that the 'Red Top' papers will pick on her for, it'll be her height

Why should the fact I'm shorter than average even be an issue? If that's the only 'dirt' they dig on me I'll be relieved!!!!

It won't be an issue for anybody that matters. It shouldn't matter to anybody. Do you have any other dirt to dig up 

[Crow]

Do you have any other dirt to dig up 

If she doesn't they will make it up. But just from the stuff CLT has posted on here over the last few years is more than enough to start the spin machines churning, if I didn't like the CLT I'd give you an example of how to turn normal harmless stuff into bile filled nastiness.

That's true.
