Dick Brain? Yes he is.
Honourable members, I’m sure.
He’s not just the leader, he’s a member!
@teknocholer Ninja’ed!
Potential candidates to replace Braine include Penis Cerebellum and Beefspear Graymatter.
They could go with a woman. There’s always that famous English racist, Belle Ende.

(Silly Party)
Beefspear Graymatter.
Damn. Well done!
