Labour councillor "my real mother is a green alien"...

http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/9612257.Labour_councillor___My_real_mother_is_a_green_alien_/

(snip)

A LABOUR politician has stunned his town council colleagues by claiming his “real mother” is a 9ft green alien with eight fingers.

Councillor Simon Parkes, who was elected to represent Stakesby ward on Whitby Town Council last month, said although he has had hundreds of close encounters with extra-terrestrials, it will not interfere with his mission to help residents at the seaside resort.

Speaking on YouTube, Coun Parkes said he first saw an alien at the age of eight months, when “a traditional kite-shaped face”, with huge eyes, tiny nostrils and a thin mouth appeared over his cot.

He said: “Two green stick things came in. I was aware of some movement over my head. I thought, ‘they’re not mummy’s hands, mummy’s hands are pink’.”

He added: “I was looking straight into its face. It enters my mind through my eyes and it sends a message down my optic nerve into my brain.

Is this typical of the people who enter local politics in England? Or do they simply have far too much free time in Whitby?

In that case, though...wouldn't his mother have been a BLUE alien? Ken Burch Mar 2012 #4

Which leads to the next question: does a marriage between blue and yellow produce green aliens? That would explain quite a lot about the present government.

Either that or far too much in the way of free drugs in Whitby ...

I must admit though, that probably rates pretty high in the "Top 10 ways
to crash & burn" chart ... maybe slightly behind the pilot screaming about
"They're going to take us down! Say the Lord's prayer!" but a pretty good
attempt nonetheless ...
