A leaflet has just dropped through our door from Britain's newest and, some might say, maddest political party.
It starts with the bright red slogan 'NATIONAL HOUSING PARTY UNITED KINGDOM' emblazoned neatly over a picture of a council estate. Admittedly using National and United Kingdom together is a little repetitive and they could use a lesson in marketing redundancy but, so far, not so much to worry about. Everyone needs housing, even if it is in a Deptford tower block overlooking a pub with a flat roof.
But then your eyes are inevitably drawn to the photo of the leader, John Lawrence, who looks like he probably started the party after a long period of living on a bench. And the first clue to what they might really be about is given by their logo, which looks like it was designed by the visually impaired child of a Britain First member. Still, houses eh? Always good things. Let's have a read of the text.
And here the penny starts to drop. "With millions of our own people in the private sector living in overcrowded condtions, the LibLAbCon continue to give refugees housing before our own citizens. In order to address this crisis. we need to exit the 1951 UN Refugee Convention."
Ah.
Then there's a section of things they're against which could come straight from Reform or even the Tories, but have nothing to do with housing; abolish LTN and ULEZ, abolish electric vehicle targets, carbon free housing targets and 20mph zones. But the real zinger is under the section titled "Sex Education".
"NHPUK campaigns to take sex education out of schools and put it back in the hands of the parents where it should be. Schools should be teaching about Jesus, English, Maths.....With the absence of Jesus Christ without our society our children are being confused."
Some may say it that if Christ were alive now, the first people he'd take pity on are people fleeing warzones. Not John Lawrence, obviously.
I mention this as many on NSC seem to now be styling themselves as politically homeless and thinking of politicians as all the same. Well, John clearly isn't. "Are you politically homeless? Speak to us" John urges. And you can join for the very reasonable sum of *checks notes* £22 a year. Today!
If you'd like to know how, all the details are below. How can anyone resist the lure of anti-green fascists with a Jesus twist?
