For the first time ever, South Shields will able to vote for the Monster Raving Loony Party (we’ve been doing that for years, I hear you cry), yes but, we are the real Loony Party ! ! !
I am Howling ‘Laud’ Hope, the Party Leader since 1999. Lord Sutch and I started the Party in 1982, I was then Chairman and Deputy Leader until the sad loss of our ‘Sutchie’.
I have stood in many Elections over the years, none more so than against David Cameron in Witney, Michael Portillo in Kensington, George Galloway in Bradford, plus many others, not so well known winners and losers. My Father came from Newcastle and my Mothers side from South Shields, so I have visited the area on many occasions and grew up to be part of the North East !
So what will ‘WE’ do ? To tackle unemployment we would suggest that South Shields becomes an enormous Theme Park called Loony Land where everybody will be working in a happy environment on a par with Disney Land. Loony? I don’t think so, that’s exactly what they did in Kissamee, Florida, slap bang in the middle, it gets more visitors now than coastal areas and Paris of course, in the middle of nowhere, but not any more. Being a football supporter,we might also suggest that Newcastle Airport be renamed ‘The Jackie Milburn’ if Speke in Liverpool can be changed to The John Lennon, and Belfast to The George Best, then why not ? A happy environment leads to happy people happily enjoying themselves ! When elected, I would certainly move back up into the area of my roots, and then sort things out on a much more local level. I would also commit myself to doing all the things that the other parties say they will do, when they don’t do it ! So Good, Good, people of South Shields, don’t be confused by Labour, Conservative, Liberal or any other pretenders, vote for the real Raving Loony Party, you know it makes sense. Our Party HQ will be the ‘Douglas Vaults Hotel’ in Barrington Street, with the kind permission of Stuart, the landlord, all are welcome, see you all there.
Howling ‘Laud’ Hope
(Maybe your last Hope)
