Apparently my grandad is standing as an independent candidate for Harold Wood in the general election. Someone nominated him and paid the £2,000 deposit anonymously, and didn't tell him he was standing as an independent candidate until he got a letter through the post today, telling him to be at the polling station to represent himself!
If you knew my grandad, you'd know he was the worst possible political candidate in the world. He's a retired forester who spends all hi...s time tinkering with old cars.
I think it's a massively elaborate stitch-up...
He's the fifth name down the list.
My whole family have spent the evening pissing our selves with laughter at the thought of him (a confused, often blithering, old man) possibly (acidentally!) becoming an MP.
