Sheep impressionist Robin Page
Robin Page, former TV presenter of One Man and His Dog, is one of life’s true eccentrics. He genuinely doesn’t care what people think about him.
Last week he made sheep impressions in mockery of Lib Dem colleagues at South Cambridgeshire District Council where he sits as an Independent councillor. He was no doubt mocking their demise, the poor little lost lambs.
Members of the cash strapped council were not amused and Coun Page was accused of behaving in a “silly and immature” way. The council is now represented only by Independent and Tory councillors.
When I used to report at their meetings, Robin was always one of the liveliest and challenging speakers and I would immediately perk up when he spoke, pen poised waiting for him to say something sensational, which he invariably did.
He runs a great, traditional farm and used to bring in reindeers each Christmas for the kids to see. I wonder what kind of noise they make.
Don’t change Robin, baa humbug to everyone else…
Politics needs more “silly and immature.” It also needs more people who don’t give a stuff about party politics, all of which are failing. (Grumpy old bloke moment over.)
Robin Page was mentioned by his friend Christopher Booker yesterday in his column (STelegraph), querying whether legislation would allow him to burn hedge clippings.
Robin continually protests against bureaucracy and has the right contacts to get his voice heard.
He does have a very original, unconventional and spirited approach which breathes fresh air into politics.
he looks like a bit of a nutter it has to be said…
