A bit of an aul Who reference there for the music fans.
Mike Nesbitt is the only candidate for Ulster Unionist leader so far, seven years after he first stood down from the position.
Can he do any better this time or will it be a case of we won’t get fooled again?
Mike is an expert on media relations, but could I suggest he liven up the next UUP Party Conference by smashing a Fender Stratocaster to bits on stage? I will leave it up to his discretion whether or not he wants to drive a car into a swimming pool while high on coke.
I realise these puns may be going over the head of non-Who fans, but I don’t care—I love a bit of the Who. Rock out!
I help to manage Slugger by taking care of the site as well as running our live events. My background is in business, marketing and IT. My politics tend towards middle-of-the-road pragmatism, I am not a member of any political party. Oddly for a member of the Slugger team, I am not that interested in daily politics, preferring to write about big ideas in society. When not stuck in front of a screen, I am a parkrun Run Director.
