A Brexit Party parliamentary candidate was so angry by Nigel Farage’s decision to stand down party candidates in Tory seats, he changed his name by deed poll to Mr Brexit Party – so the party name would still appear on the ballot.
Andrew Morgan – Brexit Party candidate for Clacton before Farage sold him out – changed his name officially to Andrew Morgan Clacton-Brexit Party (I’m not making this up).
However, the local returning officer – after receiving legal advice – has ruled his name cannot appear on the ballot papers as it would mislead voters so his name will appear as plain old Andrew Morgan.
Morgan however is now stuck with the name for the rest of his life.
Should have got a picture of Farage’s face tattooed on one of his buttocks instead…

There’s a man in Yorkshire, a local eccentric and probably Narcissist, who has changed his name several times, or at least has several aliases; John Jake Zed Mangel-wurzel aka Longwood Singh (an attempt to avoid crash helmet laws) aka Thomas Henry Erasmus Occupier (T.H.E. Occupier). He had a Morris Minor on the roof of his house for many years, and once married his dog.

Not really, he can change it back by writing another Deed Poll -it is super easy to do anyway – it costs nothing and you don’t need solicitors.
Mind you, that BxP chump will at least be saddled with ridicule from all around him. At least he doesn’t live in Australia or Alpha Centauri like other BxP candidates.
