Anyone here remember the English National Party? Run by a fruitcake doctor, they existed in the 1970's, based near Exeter if I remember correctly.

Policies included: plans for a major ring-road around London, (before the M25 was a twinkle) and the commandeering of all North Sea oil because the England/Scotland border runs at a SW to NE tangent.

The prospective Education Minister was an old lady that appeared on it's PPB knitting and they dressed in traditional clothes when canvassing!

I don't remember much more, except that they were both colourful and quite wacky, yet somewhat appealing!

Keep on believing that council tax is on the rise,
Because of your services that they provide,
Keep on shelling out through the nose,
'Cos you'll never know where it really goes.

Down to the polling booth you beat your feet,
Vote for the Labour liars and Tory cheats,
Don't bother, just go up to Big Ben,
Drop your trousers and take it there and then.
