Made me realise that we hadn't heard from that fame hungry grifter for a while and I wondered what he's up to now. What a surprise to find that he has followed the route of so many self serving failed politicians and gone crawling to the right wing 'PC gone mad' circuit. In 2022 he was lecturing at the UKIP conference on 'Wokeness'. No doubt finishing his reactionary blather with a poor harmonica solo.
And talking of the Cheeky Girls, what are they up now? Did they flee UK, post Brexit?
Lembit Opik? He was my MP when I lived in Montgomeryshire.
Shame to have missed that one.
In general he was a good constituency MP, however I did have one stand-up row with him in one of the local pubs. Nick Griffin, erstwhile leader of the BNP lives locally, and he decided to host a "red, white and blue party" for his fellow knuckledraggers. Cardiff AFA got wind of this, and it was decided that we would do what we could to disrupt their little shindig. We got as far as the start of the lane leading up to his house, whereupon we were turned away by the police as we didn't have the appropriate pass (on a public highway!!). A rally was hastily arranged in nearby Welshpool and Lembit was contacted and, even though he was at his constituency offices, he refused to come up as he "didn't want to give them the oxygen of publicity." Less than a year later he was debating with Griffin at the Oxford Union.
Could do a whole festival:
Maybe a little bit, but at least he'll plug a gap in the squad.
I went to that. Possibly the third best gig of all-time, behind Woodstock and Live Aid.
He is living off the Cold and Flu relief money.
That video has a section of goals and dribbles and another on passing and movement. Nothing on crosses. (Sorry. I waited, but nobody else did it).
One in a million
The "bed" here is superb
I met them once, and touched their bum. Turns out they're not so amenable to it as their song suggested.
