Of late I've been accused of being obsessed with John Bracken. So in an attempt to get it out of my system I'm blogging about it today.
For those of you who don’t know. John Bracken is a candidate in the Irish local elections and he running in the Laois / Offaly area. Bracken ran in the local elections in 2004 and in the last General Election as an Independent. He came to national attention because of his song and his inspiring posters.
There seems to be somewhat of a cult following for Bracken, mainly because of his great hair style and the look he has of a man straight out of the bog. Maybe this explains why we have a print out of his poster stuck on a wall in our office.
This man wouldn't look out of place in a Harry Enfield Scouser sketch, but you have to respect the man as he is the epitome of small town, grass roots politics.
"Go on yee boy ye!"
" ey, ey, ey! They did do that though didn't they though"
