THE GREAT WHITE HOPE: The Life and Times of Alan ‘Howling Laud’ Hope - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Alan ‘Howling Laud’ Hope – Hampshire lad, father, grandfather, Rock and Roll star, hotelier, publican, Mayor of Ashburton, and Leader of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party. The longest serving Party Leader in Great Britain in over 150 years.

A man who has rubbed shoulders with Prime Ministers and Rock Stars, and everyone in between. A man who enjoys life. A life of many highs, and some lows.

If you have an interest in politics, are excited by Rock and Roll, or both, you should read this book and trace Alan’s life from the birth of Rock and Roll to today’s political confusions. And for the very first time, you can read the full story of when Alan sent The Beatles packing with their tails between their legs in December 1961.

Alan has lived his life to the full. Or better, has lived all his lives to the full. Some might say that Alan takes the ‘P’ out of ‘Politics’.

But Alan would just say: “It’s all been ‘Sutch’ good fun!”

“I’ve known Alan since 2000 when he became both a constituent of mine, and a rival politician. Alan and his fellow Loonies bring British eccentricity and a sense of fun to our national politics. That is to be valued, and helps us to see the lighter-side.”

– Sir Gerald Howarth

"Behind all the 'Loony-ness', Alan takes his politics seriously and has devoted many years to public service both in Devon and Hampshire."

– Cllr. Steve Forster

“If it wasn’t for Alan, the Loony Party would never have happened, because our dear friend ‘Lord David Edward Sutch’ could never have achieved so much without him.”

– Wild Bob Burgos – the Sledgehammer of Rock

“Alan is not that Loony, he is the only person I know who correctly forecasted the Brexit Referendum result, Donald Trump becoming President of the USA and back in early 2017 that we would not have left the EU at the end of March 2019.”

– Derrill Carr

“Alan has added joy to our national politics in a remarkable way. I consider him a true friend.”

– Nigel Farage
