Controversial leftist Les Twentyman is planning on running in Footscray at the Victorian 2010 state election according to radio reports.
The serial candidate ran unsuccessfully in last year’s Kororoit by-election and twice before for Victoria’s upper house. He is believed to enjoy the strong financial backing of militant left-wing unionist Dean Mighell. In addition the well-connected Twentyman – while posing as a battler – enjoys a luxury lifestyle in Maribyrnong’s ritzy Edgewater estate in a property thought to be worth in excess of $800,000.
Developing…
bye bye Marsha
Don’t forget Les has also done it tough in both Brighton and Williamstown. Edgewater is slumming it for him.
well he should get his families vote who else could love him
Marsha Thomson can start looking for a new job.
Gone gone gorrrrne.
I wouldn’t vote for Luz Twuntymun. I thunk he uzz a bug fut pruck
Les is an old fashioned welfare worker that keeps getting wheeled out by the media when they want to do a patronising story about how bad the western suburbs are. Many locals hate it and progressive community workers cringe.
hey marsha ..txt me ok
At least Les has not been accused of serious criminal behaviour in Parliament like Julian Sheezel.
Green will preference Lez, Libs will preference Lez . . . . Marsha is t-oast.
Sir Lesley Twentytonneguts HRH has lined his dirty pockets living of marginalised young people, he is a fraud and gets off on self-promotion and publicity. He is a grossly fat pig with a major alcohol problem, as can be seen from his regular ‘odd’ outbursts at Walters Wine Bar. He is ONLY interested in Footscray so he can get some more media attention and viewing the streets of Footscray from his luxurious town house.
awesome, now we can finally have those heroin injecting rooms he promised…
What seat will Marsha jump into now?
Perhaps she might allow her supporters to use her office to print their election material like she did for Burhan!
Ignorance is no defence Marsha and cheating is an advantage right.
they can both go on the biggest loser
Despite his flaws I am pretty sure that Les has done more work than Marsha has.
Les Twentyman’s hard work is restricted to Olympic whining, herculean rent-a-quote, heroic elbow-bending and jerking his own chain more than any one man should be allowed. It’s a miracle he’s not blind from all the pulling he does.
He’s done some charity work. Great. So have hundreds of thousands of faceless carers and givers and dreamers and they don’t desperate hog adulation like this attention-starved, selfish, greedy f*ck.
Everyone knows the truth about his lavish lifestyle. Hanging out in the best of restaurants. Always on some dumb f*ck’s tab. Always the loudest c*nt in the room. Always whining about something. He was such a fixture at Florentino’s, some people assumed he was the retard cousin of the owner allowed to hang around for the day.
The truth is much sadder. He is a human sponge, living off the charitable intentions and desire to do good of other people.
That he lives in luxury while living preaching about how he lives on the streets to fight poverty is one of the great insufficiently told scandals and frauds of Melbourne life.
Don’t let Les Twentyman’s attack machine stop you VexNews. He attacks all critics so ferociously only because he has so much to hide. You’ve exposed just the tip of the iceberg here and on the OC. Please keep researching his past, particularly when he was a teacher. You’ll be shocked.
Vexnews needs to understand that an attack on Les is an attack on me and Phil and everyone else in the whiney “D” grade celeb club. So back off or I’ll tell on you to Neil Mitchell.
Three bottom dwelling blood suckers:
1) Les ‘Leech’ Twentyman
2) Dean ‘She-Male’ Mighell
3) Phil ‘Shit 4 Brains’ Cleary
interesting connection here =
phil clearly was member for wills before kelvin thomson, who is of course marsha’s ex…
game on
wow I thought my comment was a bit racy
good oh you les your a better candidate than any of Brumbys Brumbies. Talk about a group of failures. Well done Dean for supporting les BETTER THAN FEEDING THE SHEEP IN PARLIMENT
Is Les still running ‘those’ Boy’s Camps?
anon
You keep forgetting Steve or Jack Medcraft JAKAS the serial candidate up Sunbury way.
As Lord Chief Protector of the Wetern Suburbs I demand a Danish and some Footscray Market dim sims to celebrate this joyous occasion of my descending from my lofty battlement on high to pat the heads of my loyal and adoring subjects.
So many people here have expressed what i have long felt. Twenty-dolar man is all about himself. The fat prick got so fat supping at the extravagent FREE meals he enjoys. I wonder if he’s ever said “Let them eat cake” while dining at charity function at Raheen? I recall Max Gillies once tearing Andrew Peacock to shreds saying his view of helping starving Africans was to send over a tray of spare hor’s dourves. It’s the same for Les. The Herald-Sun trots him out just like they do with media-whore shrink Michael Carr-Greg and like they used to do with Bruce Ruxton. Now that Les has a foundation in his own name (with lots of hor’s dourves for the Smorgans, McGuires and Pratt’s to enjoy), it’s all official for him now. He’s one of them. He’s nothing better than a slum lord as far as i am concerned.
I’m sick of Les needlessly talking down the western suburbs.
If you dont like Footscray move…. oh that’s right, you already have.
Westie you sod show show respect to your Superiors. I will not move from my exclusive and luxurious apartment the views are fantastic, I can watch you Peasants and Commoners work as I drink with Phil and Deano.
Ah yes, Twentyman promises much if he’s elected, but as has been demonstrated so many times in the past, these so called independents havn’t got the power to deliver what they promise when they do get elected. That’s why Cleary was such a stunning failure when he was in parliament and why the people in his electorate turfed him out. The people in Footscray aren’t going to make the same mistake, and anyway Twentyman’s going to need a massive swing against Labor if he’s to win and to do and that’ll never happen
And as for anonymous, does he/she/it actually live in Footscray or is he/she/it simply a troll trying to stir up a reaction
So what’s this a center unity-left battle ? Everytime Lobor gets in this hate arises. Beter to look at what we ouyselves do than slag others
