Roddy Courde

Roddy Aston Courde, MP (born 9 May 1960) is a British politician. He has been an independent Member of Parliament since 1979. He was previously a tea brewer at an iconic tea stand on the Brighton Palace Pier called The Lipton Store@Palace Pier during his secondary school years. In 1978, Courde has stopped working at the Lipton Store and graduated from Regnis College. He has decided to run for the MP seat of Brighton Kemptown in 1979. He decided to run as an independent due to his dissatisfaction with the Conservative party, believing that they are starting to become "more and more similar to Labour Party". After hosting a medium-sized rally in a local public park, he has convinced the district to vote for him and won by 53.6%.

Early Life
Courde was born in Hapsleigh, an East Sussex hamlet near Brighton. A month after his birth he moved to the Brighton neighbourhood of Ostersea Row. His father was a chief engineer for Schlumberger. His grandfathers were farmers. He grew up in Ostersea Row and joined a multipartisan political club for secondary schoolers at the age of 15.

Education
"Roddy Courde has attended a small school of 40 students named Regnis College since pre-school. He has said that learning there was a 'horrible experience and that [he] would far rather attend state school'.""'All of my classmates were just absolute leftist cuckolds. When I started getting into politics and told them I was right-wing, they just started acting like sensitive dickheads. I tried to debate them civilly but they had no rebuts and just resorted to stupid insults, not to mention I had a class of 9 students, the school was small and that 'college' was just a slightly modified Pratten hut, the tuition of 42,000 quid was not worth it. Then in Year 9 all of the bad students moved out, but the ones that stayed weren't very social so I was just bored everyday waiting to get home and listen to some comedy on BBC. I was excited when I finally graduated, I suddenly felt happier than I ever was, and I hope I'll find a law that school violated so that I could order it to close.'"

Early political activity
When Courde was 13, he enjoyed listening to BBC News and when he saw right-wing politicians clash with leftists on TV he found it hilarious and eventually watched more news and decided he wanted to run his district of Brighton Kemptown. He has also read the biographies of Winston Churchill.

Legal cases
During the Brighton Kemptown MP elections in 1979, BBC Radio Brighton reporter Arnold Blacke has made a conspiracy theory saying that Roddy Courde called immigrants racial slurs. Blacke then attempted to sound like Roddy Courde and said the words he claimed Courde said. Courde was driving his car on the motorway while listening to this and immediately dialed 999 and filed a lawsuit. Arnold Blacke was arrested for 26 years for fraud and slander.
