This is the guy who came up with Supersymmetry, one of the great (though unproven) theories of modern physics. His latest ideas are being taken very seriously.

Any Conservative or person who sympathises with Paddick but thinks he hasn't got a chance, give him your second preference at least!<BR/><BR/>Even if it weren't for the fact that I just about prefer Boris to Ken, I have a natural bias against incumbents, especially if they've been around for a long time.<BR/><BR/>But B.
