I'm respectable. I'm old. Politicians, ugly buildings, and whores all get respectable if they last long enough.

Damn you, now I am weighing up the merits of Nick Timothy, Mark Francois, Iain Duncan-Smith...

Jesus Christ.

A former neo-Nazi activist with convictions including for harassing a Jewish MP has been selected as a Conservative candidate for a local election in Somerset.

Joshua Bonehill-Paine, the creator of the viral Crewkerne Gazette series of AI clips, is due to stand for election to Somerset council next year in a new Crewkerne South district. He told the Guardian he was an executive member of the Tories’ Yeovil branch, working as an events organiser.

“The branch and indeed party are fully aware of my past. Our chairman has been a vocal advocate and has supported me since I became a member of the party. I am very grateful for the support,” he said.

Bonehill-Paine, who previously described himself as a “nationalist, fascist, theorist and supporter of white rights”, re-emerged in recent years as the creator of the Crewkerne Gazette, a satirical online account that has gained a cult following.

Not for another 241 days, I'm afraid.

Still, I'm sure that if a Muslim went to jail for terror-related offences, came out claiming to be reformed and was nominated as a Labour candidate, the Mail/Express/GBeebies would congratulate him on turning his life around.
