Latest Tory Mayoral Candidate Throws Fedora Into Ring

Winston McKenzie is an official Tory Mayoral candidate. The former Veritas candidate lost his deposit at the general election standing in Croydon North after gaining 324 votes. This bettered his standing in Brent East in 2003 where he won 197 votes standing as the "Black Voice for Great Britain".

Guido interviewed him and found his policies, err, interesting, he is against the congestion charge and tough on crime. He is very keen on sport, boxing in particular. Guido can't wait for the hustings...

What would happen to a candidate standing as the "White Voice for Great Britain"?

Of course, I would be the last to accuse Mr McKenzie of being a racist.

Samuel Coates said...

This was the guy who got kicked out of the CF Xmas party.

Check out this interesting comment on ConHome recently. http://conservativehome.blogs.com/londonmayor/2006/12/darren_caplan_l.html#comment-26347002

He's also got a MySpace http://www.myspace.com/winstonmckenzieuk

You can tell he is a boxer by his uber-confident language! "Leading Candidate for London Mayor" etc. He seems well-meaning though so good luck to him.

Just to clarify, "official Tory Mayoral candidate" merely means he is allowed to apply for the Tory candidacy.

I wonder if he'll do better than his nephew Ashley, who came seventh in the latest series of the X-Factor.

Good luck to him. I met him the other day (just before he got kicked out of the CF Christmas party). I'm not a Londoner but am looking forward to what could be an interesting couple of years leading up to the mayoral elections.

Can we have some details as to why he got kicked out of the CF party?

'Average guy on the street' going to the CF Christmas Party. Mmmmm?

Check this link out for an excellent summary of Winston's poltical career so far.

My favourite moment was where he criticised Conservative Croydon Council for being racist and then said he wanted to be the Conservative Party's Mayoral candidate. Priceless.

peter hitchens said...

second thoughts
getting kicked out of CF meeting gives him kudos.
I have been kicked out of the natural history museum , is that better?

C - What was your campaign called again? Anyone but Ken?

Hitch, only if it involved a bottle of claret and a sabre toothed tiger

JH said...

He got thrown out mainly because he got up onto a table and started to attempt to give a speech. Couldn't tell a word of what he was saying, but he seemed a bit hammered. He'd been making a general nuisance of himself all evening however.

peter hitchens said...

Mr Crosby it involved a drunken private viewing of the exhibits whilst attending a corporate bash, I bribed a waiter to let me into the roped off areas, I had the whole place to myself until I decided it would be a good idea to loot the gift shop (the only place with cameras) stick two fingers up to the camera and make my escape in the lift. The fuckers switched the lift off stopped me between floors then made the lift go back to the basement where I was met by several large angry men, after a few words we all decided it would be best if I left the premises in a peaceable manner, if I hadn't been so pissed I could have fucked off with a dinosaur rather than a T shirt.

""official Tory Mayoral candidate" merely means he is allowed to apply for the Tory candidacy."

an abbreviation, therefore, of "has had recent white coat man attention"!

Now that's what I'd call a proper lawn ornament....oh, sorry, this isn't the Lembit thread is it.

Judging by the female attendance at the CF events, if Winston hadn't been so pissed he could have fucked off with something resembling a dinosaur too.

bing crosby's stunt double said...

A gift shop raid?

Far more stylish to elope with a fellow guest into some corner occupied by our troglodyte ancestors and engage in a little Darwinian Evolution.

One trusts you were merely liberating lollipops and plastic stegasauri rather than gem-encrusted 24 carat blue whale pendants for the visiting American glitterati, lest you end up sharing accommodation with our axe-wielding friend ...

Mr Fuller.... have a care or someone from the Black Police Association will be around to feel your collar.

peter hitchens said...

Mr Crosby
I just did it for the buzz and "dont give two fucks" for my victim (+:
It could have been any museum, the natural history museum was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
After a tepid dinner and a couple of bottles of shit free wine under the head of a Brontosaurus I was just a beast , a ticking time bomb.
No trinket or T shirt was safe from me.

Things still looking rosy for Ken, eh?

Newmania said...

Oh Jesus he works downstairs , I kid you not , know him well . Given that he is an ex boxer and is about 30ft away .....

I cannot praise him enough..

BTW I `ve applied and they haven`t even bothered to reply despite the fact I had the support of the Local Party and have frequently been in the local Press attacking the Mayor on range of London and local issues. What does this official mean . Nothing is my guess , he was in the Express though

Newmania said...

.In fact his two brothers are still boxing professionally
I think I `ll pop round and scoop Guidos interview .Oh I wish I had heard that .

City Unslicker I will be seeing you later when we may wish to discuss the new heart of English Political life "Croydon" ..or not

Such coarseness. Whatever happened to the concept of Christian charity at Christmas??

Those of us who are fortunate should give. Peregrine Worsthorne says so in the Hellograph so it must be true.

My fist charity bid is a 'whip round' for a veil for Melanie Phillips. She is surely the only serious chance for a real Conservative mayor of London and a veil would improve her chances substantially.

What a shambles.

Are you sure patprimer is that twat balls. I signed up for housepricecrash forum to check thunderbird900 vs patprimer. primetwat's non-responses were party line inanities of such a low level that I immediately discounted the hand of balls despite the fact that he is a cerebrally challenged dungbeetle. if this guy is our future Treasury Tsar we are well and truly fucked. Tell me ain't so. By speedpost if possible.

He seems to be keeping his head down of late. I wonder why that is.

Forget the Tories wet dream of Brown taking over from Blair.

Brown is a busted flush and will not win any leadership contest. Reid is the likely winner. He will attack the Tories from the right and, in doing so, will probably win the next election or, at least, make Labour the largest party.

The more Cameron and co desperately flirt with all this lefty/liberal/diversity crap the more votes Reid will gain from people who would otherwise have voted Tory.

Out From Under said...

The guy really is obsessed with the colour of his skin. This is off his Myspace:

"They say it's impossible. They say it can't be done. The truth is, London will see it's first ever black Mayor. The history books of politics shall be re-written. Changed forever !"

What a racist loser.

With candidates like Winston the Tories really are in their death throes.

I hate to say it but perhaps Peter Hitchens (the real one) is right.

peter hitchens said...

anon 6;01
There are more than one "real" Peter Hitchens.
Just because some arsehole calls himself "Peter Hitchens" and gets a byline in some rag that frets about womens periods, cancer and Gypsies doesnt Give him the right to claim to be the "real" Peter Hitchens
Peter Hitchens is who he is depending on where he is.

From WINSTON McKENZIE - The Undisputed Leading Conservative Candidate for the Office of Mayor of London

Luv your comments. They make for a great political contest. Good to see so many members with their honest opinions.

By the way, the terminology "black Mayor" does not render me racist. Of course I am black, and proud. I am also a British Citizen, and very proud. The problem these days is that people are afraid to speak their minds, due to PC. The British public have become comotoze and respond endearingly to the labour virus which has corrupted this country.

The majority of politicians sit in their enclosed 'village' and discuss our future under the illusion that they know best. They do not reach out to the wider community who are full of promise and harbour great ideas. The erosian of British culture, together with Christianity, continues to diminish, yet all we do is sit back, look on despairingly and cry.

I am a Leader. I fear no-one. I shall deliver. I stand on a platform determined to rid our streets of gun and knife crime within two years. Determined to give our children a future they too can be proud of. Determined to reach out and make good of the skills and gifts contained within each of us in this country. Our citizens, whatever creed or colour, deserve more, yet when we ask, our cries fall on deaf ears. I shall preserve London's rich culture and diversity, as we once knew it.

One thing is certain, when all is said and done, the British public have pride. Justice shall be done.

Guido - keep them rolling, man. Great stuff.

Seconds out! Round One.

Judging by the tone of the post I would say it was for real. If not, then it is just what he would say and we have a very good Winston impersonator in our midst.
He is a nice guy, but sadly, eccentric to the point of being totally barking.

Best form of defence said...

I saw this dude swanning round the Bournemouth conference dressed like a 30s Harlem gangster. All very amusing, but is that what the Tories aspire to?

The Remittance Man said...

Anon 10:31 said: "When's the next plane out of here?"

Judging by the news from Heathrow, sometime in April 2007.

On a more serious note: This chap seems more like a character from a bad 1970's sitcom; a parody West Indian playing to Whitey's every prejudice.

Maybe that's not a true reflection of the "real" Winston Mackenzie, but it's how he's going to be portrayed by his opponents.

And if it is true that he is the official candidate, then I really am beoming convinced the Tories have given up on ever winning an election.

Honestly, if I didn't already live abroad I'd be thinking like Mr Anon.

Winston makes Chris Eubank seem normal. He is touting for the publicity which ex boxers crave. RM : he is not THE official candidate - just tossing his hat in the ring where modest success with gloves will not be matched.

Thanks for the clarification, though it does little to settle my unease concerning the Tories vis a vis winning elections, desire thereof.

Barton said...

Winston- we love you -but for goodness sake you must stop getting pissed at parties. Getting thrown out of the CF Xmas party was unnecessary and makes for very bad internal publicity. If you want to make a speech then make sure you have cleared it with the event organisers.

Barton - said “stop getting pissed.” I never was pissed. I am disciplined through the art of sport, and would never disgrace my family in such a way as described. No, I did not get permission from the organisers. It was a heat of the moment challenge, having been approached by some inspired members who persuaded me to introduce myself. Unfortunately for me, I was accordingly asked to leave! No if’s or but’s! - “As the party was for those 30 years or under.” Obviously it was way past their bedtime! Night, night.

Hey, Hitch! Got to meet you dude! Great minds think alike.

His myspace page has a rotating thingy, one picture of which refers to "figthing 4 the future".

Is it possible thyat he has the same troubles with his bowels as Lyndsey De Paul? Could they be related in some way?

Burson said...

We all heard the speech about ‘black people’ at the CF party.

Everyone genuinely thought it was David Lammy MP, making a protest in front of the entire CF membership. The rant appeared to be about multiculturalism so everyone got out their phones and started filming this invasion by a drunken Labour MP!

Indeed, it took a great while before we all realised it was this Winston guy.
