Greg Couzens cuts Chris Huhne's hair
Rochdale Hairdresser and Liberal Democrat Member Gregory Couzens found a novel way of questioning Liberal Democrat Leadership Contender Chris Huhne MP. Chris had no choice to answer his questions as he was sat having his hair cut at the same time.
Greg explains, "I was unsure about who to vote for and asked Paul Rowen MP whether any of the candidates would come down to meet our staff and enjoy a hair cut. I'm delighted that Chris Huhne agreed and I was hugely impressed with him. I tipped him to win the Leadership race 2 weeks ago on National Radio Station BBC 5 Live."
Greg has been a regular commentator for the BBC on the Leadership Battle and has extended the invitation for a hair cut to Sir Menzies Campbell MP and Simon Hughes MP. His award winning unisex hairdressing salon and stylists has won awards from the industry and recently won an award from the Rochdale Civic Society. Greg said, "I was delighted to add another celebrity name to my list of clients. Local clients include our MP - Paul Rowen and Sir Cyril Smith MBE. They certainly keep me informed about political and social developments here in Rochdale and I inform them of what my clients are saying."
Paul Rowen MP said, "The Chris Huhne visit was a great success, he visited our HQ at Drake Street, Touchstones, Rochdale Online, Newhey Train Station amongst other places. Greg had seen Chris on Question Time and spotted he needed a quick trim. We are delighted that 2 out of the 3 Leadership Contenders have visited Rochdale. It illustrates the regard that our town is held within the Liberal Democrats."
Greg said finally, “What a fabulous opportunity to meet Chris on a one to one, I do admire him because he too is an entrepreneur and is not afraid to speak his mind, the two qualities I admire in any politician.”
