Nigel Farage will now have to compete for space at the bar with comedian Al Murray, who has announced he will stand for Parliament in South Thanet, as The Pub Landlord for the Free United Kingdom Party.
FUKP’s manifesto contains many ‘common sense policies’ similar to those we’ve heard before from the Pub Landlord. Here’s how he will offer the voters of South Thanet a bold alternative to the mainstream (and alternative) political parties:
- The pound in your pocket: The pound will be revalued at one pound 10p, so it will now be worth 10p more. Common sense.
- The NHS: If you come to A&E and it’s neither an accident nor an emergency then you will be sent to a random hospital department to be practised on. Common sense.
- Foreign Policy: Germany has been too quiet for too long. Just saying.
- Immigration: Of course the reason they are coming here is because this is the greatest country in the world.
