Staff and pupils of King David School Moseley were agog this week with news that Liberal Democrat candidate Martin Mullaney was the surprise winner of Class 5’s art competition. Mullaney’s interpretation of what he called, “my friend John” demonstrated an uncanny understanding of both colour and the human form.
That is not to say that there wasn’t some dissent amongst the gathered children. One child Jeremy Throp (5) was heard to shout “That’s my picture. It’s my dad.” before he was quickly bundled from the room by a hovering Liberal goon. Jeremy has been known to make similar wild claims such as the time he told his class that his dad made buildings. It is widely known in Moseley that Jeremy’s father is in fact a surveyor.
Mr Mullaney’s acceptance speech ranged over a variety of issues such as the communities need to harness rabbits for their residual power as well as thanking everyone for his recent Oscar for his direction of The Lord Of The Rings: The Return of the King. He also found the time to reassure the children that if he is successful in the forthcoming elections he will still be able to find the time to complete his groundbreaking work in HIV research.
