Gilly just wouldn’t stop talking on the night of the Selby election. The rest of our team were Johnny Ringo, RU Seerius, Lady Helen and The Flying Brick.
We all met at The Giant Bellflower in Selby and enjoyed listening to Gilly nattering away. The locals were very friendly in the Wetherspoons and wholeheartedly embraced the Loony caravan.
At midnight we wandered over to the count being held at ‘The Summit’, where we were greeted with our customary reception – loud cheers, numerous photograph opportunities and interviews resulting in worldwide publicity!?!
The announcement was made just after 4am and we finished 9th out of a total of 13 candidates on a turnout of 44.77%
Gilly was very excited to be on stage and was chattering ten to the dozen, but he didn’t seem to effect Keir Mather’s stride, they both made heartfelt acceptance speeches.
We all participated in a well publicised event and we all had a great time. We send many thanks to all our supporters out there in this great democratic country of ours.
Watch out there’s a Loony about!
