Lord WheelyBin wants to conquer Onchan MHK seat

Tuesday, 25 August 2026 11:22

The Isle of Man has its own bin-faced galactic warrior who says he'll be standing in the Island's wheelie bin capital in September's election.

Lord WheelyBin launched a Facebook page this morning claiming there are too many joke candidates running for the House of Keys this year.

He describes himself as a "space adventurer with sonic molegrips heading to save Onchan".

He's pledging to relocate Tesco to Ballachrink Stores, paint Mark Cavendish gold, and twin Onchan Library with the Eiffel Tower to provide baguettes each morning.
