Independent candidate for Wirral West. Local councillor and solicitor, running on an anti-sleaze ticket, essentially a Tory/UKIP type on immigration, Europe; vague on health, education, the economy; for withdrawal of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan; co-opts the (fairly left-wing) Pensioners' Manifesto.

"There's a new trend underway among indie labels, dubbed "digital vinyl": offering free MP3 downloads for customers who buy albums on vinyl."

Potentially a good way for independent film-makers to distribute their work.
