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.

Al Murray: Command | The Spectator

Well-known stand-up comedian and television personality Al Murray talks about his love of military history and the Second World War expressed in his first history book. Over 700 episodes have been released, including interviews with veterans and other historians, as well as Murray's narration of the book, 'The Cauldron' by Zeno. It was the description of those latter ones that I found most interesting about the book together with the down to earth portrayals of war . It's not just Nigel Farage: Al Murray the Pub Landlord loses South Thanet bid despite patriotic pledges".

I'm not sure it entirely achieves what he sets out to achieve - demonstrating how the Allies Learned to Win the Second World War - because the individual stories of officers don't quite come together to support that thesis. A fairly interesting light touch exploration of the capability of the allied armies during the second world war through the lens of leadership.

Initially with Germany having a big head start in re-armament production, development of weapons and modernised tactics, the battle was just to remain in the war. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it did not dribble down to the nitty gritty of how someone actually gets another man or body of men to go to war. In August 2014, Murray was one of 200 public figures who were signatories to a letter to The Guardian expressing their hope that Scotland would vote to remain part of the United Kingdom in September's referendum on that issue. He made a brief appearance as the Pub Landlord in Series 2, Episode 6 of Lee and Herring's This Morning with Richard Not Judy.p>

He has had four previous bestselling books, 'The Pub Landlord’s Book of British Common Sense', 'The Pub Landlord Says Think Yourself British', 'Great British Pub Quiz Book' and 'Watching War Films with My Dad'. The Conservative candidate, Craig Mackinlay, said he enjoyed Murray's video and his proclamations but was not worried that the comedian would split the anti-UKIP vote.

Farage appeared to welcome his new opponent on Twitter, saying "the more, the merrier", and a spokesperson for the UKIP MEP said: "at last, serious competition in the constituency". One of the most popular live comedy acts in the country, Al has sold out arenas nationwide, including London's O2 Arena. How big this advantage became is made clear by statistics quoted within the book and it is truly staggering. Now Al Murray has produced a book – Command: How The Allies Learned To Win the Second World War – in which he looks at the progress of the war through case studies of the men who, one way and another, made a difference to it.a b Evangelista were Pat Reid (vocals), Martin Ellis (guitar), Paul Ewart (bass) and Al Murray (drums). Speaking to the media during the vote count, Murray invited Farage to a drink in his pub to drown his sorrow at losing. Al Murray's new book proves, if anyone still feels the need to question it, that he is a major historian in his own right. A descendant of the novelist William Makepeace Thackeray, [4] [5] his grandfather was the former British ambassador Sir Ralph Murray, [6] from the Scottish aristocracy and married into the Kuenberg family, Imperial Counts [ citation needed] of the Holy Roman Empire.
