Tributes have poured in for a Nottinghamshire satirist who brought 'entertainment and charisma' to local politics
Tributes have poured in for a Nottinghamshire satirist who brought 'entertainment and charisma' to local politics. Dave Bishop, also known as Lord Biro, died aged 78 on December 4 after a short illness.
"It was great fun putting together the manifestos, coming up with policies and gags. If there was a gag to be had we'd go for it." Their manifesto policies ranged from the serious to the downright absurd, and were aimed at "making a point through comedy and ridicule". Since the news of Mr Bishop's death broke, tributes have poured in from across the local political landscape. Lilian Greenwood, Labour MP for Nottingham South, said he "brought warmth and humour to every election he stood in".
