I hope he wins! I think he'd be sick as an MP because he's not going to pull all the party politik bullshitThe Guardian wrote:Bez from Happy Mondays: 'I am going to fight the revolution from within'
The dancer's concerns about fracking and GM food may be noble, but how will he fare in the 2015 general election?
The main reason I have decided to run as an independent MP for Salford and Eccles is because I've quietly been living a permaculture existence for the past three years. I'm a beekeeper and take beehives into schools, along with juices and organic vegetables. I am trying to get permaculture on to the national curriculum to teach children how to take care of their own health, rather than relying on businesses to feed them.
I've been calling myself a revolutionary as I have given up all personal ownership, have started living a certain way and have been shouting about changing things. But then I realised it's not a revolution I need: I should contribute. There is a system set up that we live in, and I've got to use that system and fight the revolution from within. It's about taking steps against the bankers, corporations and people trampling all over human rights.
