It's Thursday and it's Amanda Harrington's column in the Echo...

GET this – I’m going to be a politician!

 

As everyone knows, I was in the Miss Great Britain beauty pageant last year.

 

This year, they have formed a political party – The Miss Great Britain Party, which stands for bringing changes through beauty and making Westminster a sexier and not sleazy place.

 

Last month, they had a really high profile campaign with current Miss Great Britain, Gemma Garrett, in the Crewe and Nantwich by-election, and now there will be a dual candidacy for the forthcoming Henley by-election to be contested on June 26.

 

I am the Miss Great Britain (Blonde) candidate and my new friend Louise Cole will be the Miss Great Britain (Brunette) candidate. It gives people the choice of which they prefer – blondes or brunettes!

 

We launched the campaign with loads of photographers on a boat on the River Thames outside the Houses of Parliament in London. We wore boating blazers with Miss Great Britain bikinis underneath but it was so hot that the boating blazers didn’t stay on for long!

 

That evening, I went to the Dorchester hotel in London for a fundraising evening for the Children No.1 Foundation, which supports children in need throughout the UK. It was really good fun and I got to meet Sir Bobby Charlton and Jimmy Carr.

 

The next day, we went to Henley to register and become official candidates. Although lots of people have said it is just a publicity stunt, we have some serious issues which we will be campaigning on. The party seeks to empower women and to make Britain in general and Westminster in particular more glamorous places. Our key manifesto pledges include the right to full tax relief on child care for all working mothers – which, as a single mum, I will be strongly advocating.

 

Others include the rights of women everywhere to equal pay; a commitment to fair pay for Britain’s armed forces; a referendum for Brits on the Treaty of Lisbon – which is our involvement with the European Union; and a pledge to launch a true British Bank Holiday to celebrate British beauty.

 

I am not a politician and I’ll be the first to admit that it is not my specialist subject. But I pride myself on being savvy and I can be hugely influential so I hope to bring a little bit of Liverpool to Henley.

 

I would ask you all to vote for me, but as it’s only a local election you can’t – but you can wish me loads of luck!

 

I would like to thank Robert de Keyser, owner of Miss Great Britain, for all the amazing clothes I was allowed to pick from Harrods for the campaign.

 

PS: Thanks for all my birthday presents for yesterday.

 

This week I’m loving:

 

My new kaftan from Catalan Blue from a great boutique called Cinderella in Henley.

 

This week I’m hating:

 

My hay fever, which has been really bad this week. I have been permanently walking round with sunglasses on.

 

I think someone should tell her that "The Miss Great Britain Party" is actually a publicity stunt.

Anyone else get the mental image of a hyper giggling woman constantly playing with her hair?

I take her out for dinner Princess Fi (and you too obviously, but not at the same time. I'm not a greedy man! ;)).

[melons]

is this her??

 

If you can pull that you wouldn't need me, well, other then taking the piss out of her.....

 

as it happens all the pap shots that where there had her playing with her hair! ace!!

 

[Cardie]

I'd stick my tick in her box.

[She Knows It]

It's refreshing to see a beautiful, vacuous, dummkopf with a bit of flesh on her.

[Guest PaddyBerger15]

Tidy set of jumblats on it.

[Bourbon]

She's permanently walking around with her sunglasses on.

 

Why am I not surprised?

Maybe she's going out with Kev Seed and keeps walking into doors.

Are you sure you're not German? Has all that goose stepping got to you? Don't go invading Poland in the night or anything will you, or we'll have to have words.

I can imagine her saying that whole interview into her pink iPhone while chewing on hubba bubba with her mouth open, twirling her bleach blonde extensions around her finger and giving a high pitched laugh between every sentence.

thank fuck is not just me. I suppose adding the pic took the point away...

[Cunny]

is that column a joke or is it for real?

it almost reads like a Half Man Half Biscuit piss take.

Oh it's real.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

And to think, I'd always dismissed her as a vacuous, shit-for-brains, shallow, materialistic irritant.

 

Now she's a serious politician, it looks like I'll have to reconsider.

[Woo]

Fuck of the lorra yas, thats my future wife to be that is :telloff:*

 

*she doesnt know it yet

Society is crumbling.

 

These people should be locked away in an Escape From New York style prison. With leopards. Hungry leopards.

That six and the city column really is some laughable shit. The 'movers and shakers' in the city of Liverpool include a gay hairdresser and the Echo's boxing reporter apparently. Donald Trump eat your heart out.

I know, its cringe-worthy. Sad thing is most people will lap it up.

[dirty_sanchez]

I'd rattle her silly*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* sillier.

As would I, as would I!

 

Joey Barton's had her I think.

The Echo has really gone downmarket since Mirror Group bought them out and Harrington's column highlights the decline in quality.

 

She's a goodlooking woman alright and I'd love to take her out for dinner, however if her brains were cotton wool there wouldn't be enough to make a tampon for a budgie.

 

The thing that makes me laugh is she obviously thinks she's some sort of intellectual/style guru/social commentator when in reality she's a blonde with a big pair of jumblats.

The Party is discriminatory - where is the red-head choice?
