![]() Lee had been the owner of VIPCO, one of the earliest indie home video labels in the UK. ![]() The original Lord Buckethead was video distributor and film producer Mike Lee. Buckethead has become a media sensation, appearing on the John Oliver show in the US and generally being the only thing about the whole election debacle that everyone can relate to.īut the Buckethead story started thirty years ago, when he stood against then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the 1987, and continued in 1992 when he competed with John Major. It perhaps reflects the absurdity and idiocy that surrounding last week’s UK General Election – which, lest we forget, ended in the sort of ongoing political chaos that it was supposed to clear up – that the biggest story to come out of the whole damn thing has been the return of Lord Buckethead, who stood against Prime Minister Theresa May in her Maidenhead constituency and scored a decent 249 votes on a manifesto promising “strong, not entirely stable leadership” and which actually contains some sensible policies (read them here and tell me you wouldn’t vote for him). The strange story of the only person in Britain worth voting for.
