Howell For Henley?

June 3rd, 2008 by BenSix

The Conservatives today revealed their candidate for the Henley by-election. John Howell, according to the Oxfordshire County Council, is:

“Formerly a partner in Ernst & Young responsible for opening Eastern Europe after communism. Latterly a presenter for BBC World. Now specialises in international visual communications. Adviser to successive UK governments on overseas trade and aid. Parish Councillor in Warborough, local organist and choir director and environmental campaigner. OBE (2000).”

One can’t fault their penchant for diversity in employment.

The by-election may be called late next month or early July…or something.

    Heh, with Rachel already propping up the media I think that some may have speculated about a sinister cabal of Johnsons.
