Dan, Hogg wasn’t the only option on that stage:

Self-styled comedy terrorist Aaron Barschak has arrived at the Witney Count – wearing a long white robe and crown of thorns. The independent candidate, who infamously gatecrashed Prince William’s birthday celebrations in 2003, said he wants to raise awareness of asylum seekers . . . Security staff found a rubber lobster among Mr Barschak’s possessions when they searched him.

British politics. What fun.
