    Esther Rantzen to run for parliament

    TV presenter Esther Rantzen has said she will stand for election as MP for Luton South at the next general election - expected in 2010.
    She has been considering it since the Daily Telegraph began running a series of stories about MPs' expenses.

    Wonder if she'll put pictures of vegetables shaped like cocks on her flyers?

    I seem to remember reading a lot of chat about how worrying her actual policies and political standpoints are … but nobody will see that when polling day comes around because they’ll just be voting for ‘her off the telly’. Apparently she’s a really nasty boss to work for too.
    The interval between birth and death is fractal. Any given moment is infinitely deep and rich, and therefore one lifetime is quite enough for me.

    Nice, she's decided to run in Luton as a protest against the candidate that can't run in opposition to her - in a constituency where she has no vested interest.

    I see... a headline...

    ... Eh... I'm shit under pressure .

    TV Presenters hate it when people come have their 2 weeks on Big Brother and think they can become a TV presenter.

    She clearly thinks people are daft...
    ..Oh wait*.


    *I don't think they are that daft though.
    Do it or don't. I've got places to be.

    I recall that she's a wee bit of a zionist

    Her latest TV series is a sky "true lifes" thing about people who believe in angels (not as part of an organised religion but as agents who intervene in their lifes and such) Prof. Chris French is the rent-a-sceptic. Might be worth watching to see the veins start to bulge in his head when the usual arguments are trotted out.

    Running on the single issue of MP's expenses is, on the face of it fair enough, but outwith the party system I can't help wondering how effective "celebrity" independent MP's actually are...
