Nothing much normally happens between General Elections, but every now and then Knigel Knapp gets off his lazy arse and does something in the name of Lunacy and The Monster Raving Loony Party, and we think it only right and proper that we tell you about it when he does. - If he does.

1st July

The North Hackney MRLP Victory Party will be held at The Royal Soverign, 64 Northwold Rd. E5 8RL on Wed 3rd July - The day before the election ! That's how confidant we are. Short speech from Knigel and a 45 min set from The Faux Fibbers + DJs. All welcome. Show starts at 8.00 ish.  

26th June

Knigel  was out campaigning at the weekend with his personnel photographer Ewan Bruce. And he - Ewan, not Knigel, has knocked up this little viddy thing......                               https://drive.google.com/.../1AJPggtnRWVCtZisuUV2jI7.../view

MANICFESTO 2024    

The congestion charge will be abolished - no one should be taxed for having a heavy cold.

Anyone who leaves a lime bike in the middle of the pavement will have to provide a gin and                                    tonic to everybody who has to walk around it.

A Frivilous Fraud Office will be set up to investigate fraud too silly for the Serious Fraud Office

Support and finance properly the NHS - Sorry that's not very loony - but all nurses and junior                      doctors should be given a decent wage.

We will stop the small boats. All we've got to do is put tons and tons and tons of concrete into the                          English Channel. That will stop the small boats. Then people will be able to walk here  - That will save them      from drowning. Or why dont we just put them on big boats - ferries ?

Tax the rich and pay the workers a decent wage - sorry that's not very loony.

The Tories want to bring back National Service. Well I think we should - but only                                                     for ex PMs and all MPs who loose their seat or have stepped down at this election.

Stop water companies dumping shit in our rivers and seas - Sorry that's not very loony.                                          In fact all water company bosses should have to swim in their own shit - in our rivers and seas.

 16th June

Knigel Knapp and Two-faced Pete were out on the streets of Stoke Newington yesterday afternoon trying to drum up support for The MRLP. Well when we say streets we really mean the pubs on Church St. - but they did have to walk between them. A fab time was had by all with many people promising to vote for Knigel on 4th They will be doing something similar next weekend. Keep yours eyes peeled and your cameras ready for that MRLP themed selfie.

 

 11th June

Knigel Knapp has got together with Loony legend Joe Jammer, formed 'The Jammy Fibbers' and recorded their version of Alice Cooper's 'Elected'.

 10th June 2024

So they've sprung another General Election on us - but this time I'm standing - in Hackney North & Stoke Newington - thanks to the people who have donated to my crowdfunder page - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/mrlpdeposit . You have got another 10 days to go if you wish to make a contribution.......... I shall be publishing my own personal Manicfesto shortly and I shall be walking the streets of Stoke Newington with a bunch of MRLP supporting mates at the weekends hoping to talk to anyone who wants to talk to us about anything that concerns them. Actually it will probably be easier to find us in one of the local hostelries.......          

 

 Nov/Dec 2019

What a bloody stupid time for a General Election ! I won't be involved this time - I'm in the middle of making my Christmas puddings - 800 this year. I'm far to busy to at this time of the year to get into any sort of politics - even for The M.R.L.P.

June 2017 

 Knigel Knapp stood in Islington North in the General Election and got 106 votes and came 7th out of 10 - Not bad at all considering he did almost no campaigning. And he got loads of coverage in the papers and on telly. Photos of him "nodding sagely" behind Jeremy Corbyn while he was delivering his victory speech were beamed alll over the world via facebook. And he even got a photo with a speech bubble in Private Eye. - see campaign 2017. 

May 2017

 So it's True ! -  Knigel Knapp, Knight of the unKnown and Monster Raving Loony Party Minister for Blatant Lies and Big Fibs, will be standing in the forthcoming General Election ! And just for a change he will be standing in Islington North. Isn't that where a certain Jeremy Corbyn is  MP ?  So why has Knigel forsaken Hackney and jumped ship (or double decker bus) for Islington ? Nothing to do with all the TV cameras that will be there on the night surely ? And why is he standing against the future (possibly?!??!?) Prime Minister ?  Knigel says " I'm not standing against Jeremy, I'm standing with him - just in case he needs to form a coalition goverment ! "

 April 2017

 Well there are rumours flying around that Knigel might be standing in this years General Election - they might be true - watch this space ! In the meantime enjoy The Monster Raving Loony Party's Official General Election Campaign Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltsHbFXM4Cw&feature=youtu.be

I know it's the same as the one we used in 2015 but this election was rather sprung on us and we haven't had time to record a new one. So much for fixed parliaments eh ?

May 2016 

Knigel knapp stood as a MRLP candidate for the Welsh Assembly. The MRLP  put up over 25 candidates and this entitled us to our first ever Party Election Broadcast. Watch it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1bUIycOELw&feature=player_embedded

Old News - Thurs 1st July 2010

Knigel was persuaded to take the loony floating bicycle out onto the River Thames again. (doesn't take much persuading - just the promise of an attentive photographer) This time he was water cycling in the Kingston-upon-Thames area much to the amusement of everyone on the river bank and on the pleasure boats. There was suppossed to be an article in the Surrey Advertiser about this - If anyone saw it can they let us know.
