SID WHITWORTH may have lost his deposit on Friday, but not his sense of
humour.
The Legalise Cannabis Alliance candidate, who accomplished 272 votes,
said he had prepared a long speech but had forgotten it.
He told revellers: "I'd like to thank the flower arrangers for this
fine arrangement of flowers - i was looking for some green but I couldn't find
any.
"I'd like to thank the police for not arresting me."
Mr Whitworth, also used the opportunity to promote his party's
message. "Thousands of people are dying
every year because of legal prescriptions from the NHS.
"Cannabis has been proved to be of benefit therapeutically and we
could save hundreds if not thousands of lives."
