On 14 January 2015, Murray announced his formation of the "Free United Kingdom Party" (FUKP) [39] and declared his candidacy, deploying his Pub Landlord persona, for the seat of South Thanet [40] running against UKIP leader Nigel Farage, as parliamentary candidate in the 2015 general election. [41] [42] Murray's agent, Dan Lloyd, told the BBC: "it's definitely happening". [41] The party's logo is an upside-down pound sign, not dissimilar to UKIP's purple and gold pound sign. [43] Murray said: "it seems to me that the UK is ready for a bloke waving a pint around, offering common sense solutions", adding: "let it be known that like many of the parliamentary hopefuls in the forthcoming election, I have no idea where South Thanet is – but did that stop Margaret Thatcher from saving the Falkland Islands? No!” [44] a b "Al Murray to stand against UKIP's Nigel Farage". BBC News Online. 14 January 2015 . Retrieved 14 January 2015.
