Comedian to run against skeptic
A British comedian plans to give popular Euroskeptic politician Nigel Farage a run for his money in May's national election. Al Murray announced on Wednesday that he plans to run against UK Independence Party leader Farage in the southern England seat of Thanet South. Murray's platform includes a pledge "that the UK will leave Europe by 2025 and the edge of the solar system by 2050". He also promises to cut the price of a pint of beer to a penny (1.5 cents).
