Is that David Stirling, the founder of the SAS?

Tice is the current MEP for East of England. He's 55. Born in Farnham. Successful businessman with 30 yrs experience. Has a track record of fixing things, making things happen and getting things done...................

............But has no idea who owns 42% of his company shares.

During the early 1990s, 40% of the company's shares were transferred to two companies in tax havens – Sunciera Holdings Corporation (registered in Panama) and Shuttlecock Holdings Limited (registered in the British Virgin Islands).

Half the firms profits are paid  overseas and thus save the mystery owners of 42% of the shares a substantial amount of UK tax.  UK Tax that would help fund the NHS.
There is no suggestion that  Tice or his family are the mystery owners.

Your hero Jezza and his Corbynomics will sort it out.

Who is this Richard Tice bloke exactly?

Does anyone have any beef on him? Positive or negative...

Tice is the current MEP for East of England. He's 55. Born in Farnham. Successful businessman with 30 yrs experience. Has a track record of fixing things, making things happen and getting things done. His election platform is built on :-1. making Brexit a fact (ie delivering what 69.6% of us voted for) 2. Bring investment, money and jobs to Hartlepool 3. Change politics for good (like - abolish the House of Lords, sort out the corrupt postal voting scam, reform the British Biased Corporation, roll-back on the 50 years of squandered opportunity in Hartlepool caused by labour's complacency and their stranglehold on power)
He's personable, affable, relaxed, polite, genial. We'd be proud and lucky to have him as Hartlepool's ambassador/representative.

diSme......give him a chance, why not? or, go with the cardboard cut-out, the Invisible Mr. H, or maybe go for the Incredible Cran! (and then just imagine having to watch his toe-curling inaugural speech in the 'owse of communns)
Vote Tice.....Help Change Hartlepool for Good!

(Catching you up mikeyboy. Now my hammered keyboard is up to about 120. Only need 5463 more to get level. No doubt your enormous collection of junior encyclopedias would give you the answer to tonight's homework question.......Who said "It's quality not quantity that counts"?)

Thank you Hubris.

Apologies as I have only just noticed this response to my question 

I have just received my ballot paper today, and as it stands, I see no reason to not give him a chance. He's worked harder to get my vote than any other candidate. I haven't received anything at all from any other party/candidate, and that alone speaks volumes to me about how hard someone is prepared to work to achieve something.

There are six candidates all vying to become Hartlepool's MP and are Joe Bousefield (Independent), Kevin Cranney (Socialist Labour Party), Andy Hagon (Liberal Democrats), Mike Hill (Labour), Stefan Houghton (Conservative) and Richard Tice (Brexit Party).

Each candidate will be given five minutes to address the audience before fielding a variety of questions.

Somebody please video Chaos Cranney..........

My last encounter with a Labour canvasser was Barclay. He knocked on the door and when I opened it he said nothing and thrust a leaflet at me. I stood there and refused to accept it, waiting for him to naturally say something, but he turned on his heels and walked down the path without closing the gate. Very odd behaviour. Two minutes later one of my sons who was visiting called me into the front room and there was Barclay stood opposite pointing at the house to two minions.
Never had a visit from them since, but to me it summed up their lazy, take you for granted, you're voting for us anyway mindset.

He was probably pi$$ed and thought it was his house, then got confused when you opened the door.

[Inspector Knacker]

Now you mention it he did have a 'where the feck am I, WHO are you' look on his face. Quickly followed by the penny dropping and his two minders I assume telling him "no you really don't live there, look it has tiles on the roof".
