A Hanging in Trafalgar Square
Herbert Crossman, 60, a security company manager from Harrow, northwest London, hung upside down for two hours. He said that he was protesting against the “take, take, take attitude” of the Government. Mr Crossman demonstrated how the public was “haemorrhaging money” by placing tubs beneath him to catch money as it fell from his pockets. “It’s our money the Government is wasting, not their fat-cat salaries,” said Mr Crossman, who plans to start a Let-The-Penny-Drop political party.
Bob Piper points out he has a history of forming new parties...
"Elected as a Lib Dem councillor for Ridgeway ward in 1994. Resigned from the Lib Dems in August 1995 and announced he would sit as an Independent. In September 1996 he became PPC for the Referendum Party in Harrow West. In November 1997 Crossman formed "The Constituents' Party" with another Independent councillor, but this grouping dissolved in March 1998 when Crossman joined the Conservative Party. Unsuccessful Conservative candidate in May 1998 for Rayners Lane ward. In February 2002 he formed yet another local "party", the "People's Independent Party" (PIP) who fielded a number of candidates at both the 2002 and 2006 elections. Makes a reappearance at this by-election as an Independent. Known locally as Herbie '5 Parties' Crossman."
Maybe he should take up blogging instead....
