According to Sky News nightclub owner Peter Stringfellow could be challenging MP and coalition leader Nick Clegg come the next election over his Sheffield seat (http://news.sky.com/story/1043156/peter-stringfellow-threatens-nick-clegg-contest).
The challenge comes after Clegg had previously singled Stringfellow, owner of clubs where women remove their clothes for cash, as someone not needing the winter fuel allowance - available to all pensioners - due to his large bank balance.
Now I'm not one to jump immediately on the side of Clegg - this is someone who had gone back on many promises in his fudging of a coalition relationship - but in this case he's right. Stringfellow can afford to heat his home and his range of clubs (heck, if his staff are removing their clothes, they need a little bit of heat) without the winter fuel allowance so he shouldn't receive it. Means testing is always a problematic area with fears of rising admin costs and removing it from pensioners that do need it, but it has an unfair system.
Not that I can Stringfellow as an MP. Having a blonde-haired older man in politics would just be too silly to imagine.
Oh wait. There is a precedence.

Stringfellow for PM? That's just plain thong.
