Richard Fairbrass is too sexy for traffic. Sorry, had to be said, Fred. Via This Is London:
The lead singer of novelty pop band Right Said Fred has revealed he is to stand for London Mayor – because he is fed up of paying the congestion charge.Richard Fairbrass has promised to run against Ken Livingstone and has already made official inquires about launching his campaign.
The singer, who shot to fame in 1991 with the hit I’m Too Sexy, will stand as an independent candidate and told The Sun: “Ken Livingstone has lost the plot. London has turned into a rich man’s playground.
“The congestion charge needs a massive overhaul – real Londoners should get a massive discount.”
But you’re most concerned about the impact this will have on Said Fred, right? Don’t fret; they have an album out this month! This synchronicity is getting Fairbrass accolades as an innovative campaigner (not true). London, your mayoral candidate is on the left.
While we’re talking UK politics, don’t forget to vote for Blur drummer David Rowntree (Labour) in the Marylebone High Street By-Election.

Should I presume this is a publicity stunt for their new album? Or maybe he really wants to quit paying the charges. Hey man, you live in London. It’s expensive.
i think there should be a law against people like him running for government positions. i went to school with two identical twins and they’d take each other’s lessons and stuff. if one of those two guys was mayor, how would you know which one you were talking to?
Make them pull up their sleeves and identify the tattoos.
Isn’t Dave Rowntree still the Blur drummer? As far as I know, Damon Albarn hasn’t kicked him out.
Oh yes, we got ahead of ourselves there. Rowntree is at present both Blur’s drummer and a viable candidate for the by-election. One of those will change soon
