  John Redwood - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
John "Tharg The Magnificent" Redwood (born 1000, Andromeda) is the member of parliament for Wokingham, England and indeed the only extraterrestrial member of that August body.
Redwood was also known as Tharg the Magnificent on his homeworld of Zloooooooooook in the galaxy of Andromeda but this title is now only honorary as Zloooooooooook was tragically obliterated for firm-but-fair business reasons.
John Redwood is unpleasant to look at, and uses axle grease to flatten his hair, and has been known to pour urine on his body, to lighten the odour.

  John Redwood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Alan Redwood (born June 15, 1951 in Dover, Kent) is a British Conservative Party politician, Member of Parliament for Wokingham and formerly Shadow Secretary of State for Deregulation in the Shadow Cabinet.
However, Redwood's perceived haughty manner and apparent disregard for national feeling did not endear him to some of the population, most notoriously when in 1995 he returned £100,000,000 of Wales' block grant to the UK treasury unspent, and it was a relief to his opponents when he was succeeded by William Hague later that year.
Redwood's most famous gaffe was his attempt to mime to the Welsh national anthem at a public event, when he appeared not to know the words.

John Redwood left the stalls in a Conservative leadership race for a second time when he declared his candidacy on 6 May, four days after John Major hung up his spurs as party leader in the wake of Labour's landslide election victory.
The Redwood campaign received a slight boost when he won a mock election among party workers in Blaby, but despite this he had his work cut out to widen his appeal.
Mr Redwood also claimed that, as he resigned from the government in 1995, (in order to challenge Major), he cannot be held to account for its recent record.

The comments, by John Redwood, the shadow deregulation secretary, in an interview with the Financial Times, highlight the dilemma facing the party as it seeks to convince voters that it could renegotiate crucial European agreements while avoiding a damaging internal row over the UK's future relationship with the rest of the EU.

Mr Redwood boasted that he had amassed a “pile of paperwork more than seven feet high” of regulations, guidance notes and performance targets he aimed to axe if his party won power.
