Cynthia or Madam Cyn as she was more affectionately known was a great friend of the Loony Party. She stood for Parliament herself as the ‘Payne and Pleasure Party’ on more than one occasion; hence she met Screaming Lord Sutch on the Chelsea and Kensington hustings in the late 80s. She was never an actual member of our party but we used to refer to her as our Chief Whip, which used to make her smile. She loved the publicity just as much as David Sutch; they sort of fed off of each other. She came down to the Scilly Isles with Myself, Lord Tiverton and David and some others, we wanted to move the Houses of Parliament there, quite an apt idea!!
She attended seven of our conferences at ‘The Golden Lion Hotel’ down in Ashburton and was present at our conference in 2004 at ‘The Dog and Partridge’ in Yateley, Hants. Unfortunately that was the last time that we saw her. I attended her funeral along with our party chairman ‘The Jersey Flyer’, ‘Professor Retard’ the lovely Yvonne Elwood came with me, and Charlotte Rose was in attendance also. She had a good send off, horse drawn glass coach, a jazz band and lots of people having fond memories of her.

Goodbye Cynthia thanks for the fun!
