Graham "Grevans" Evans[3] (born 10 November 1963) is a British Conservative Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Weaver Vale in Cheshire since the 2010 general election.
Political Career
Graham "Grevans" Evans began his political career at the age of six when he became obsessed with his mother, Tracy "Trevans" Evans's political career. He first tried to gain political office at 22 when he ran for mayor of Pittsburgh. He lost in a landslide to 101 Uses for a Dead Cat. Currently he is in withdrawal from his humiliating defeat and according to inside sources is "wallowing in his own sorrows drinking excessive amount of bawls. Grevans should be returning to the political scene momentarily and we can expect to see a lot (even though we wish he'd just go away) in the future.
Personal Life
Evans was born in Poynton, Cheshire and currently lives with his "wife", which is actually a blow up doll, and "three children" which are said to be enslaved african toddlers in Macclesfield. Usually during the days he can be seen in the wild in the habitat known as City Charter High School. As he hunts down his prey, he watches their every move. Then whenever the time is just wrong, he comes over, laughs, and copies what you just did. Thus killing his prey sending them into an eternal swirling void of retardation. He spent some time stacking supermarket shelves before attending the University of Manchester's Business School as a mature student. He has held a number of senior board positions with blue chip companies including BAe Systems and Hewlett Packard within the graphics and manufacturing sector primarily in sales and marketing. He lists football, cricket, rugby and fell running amongst his pastimes, and has an interest in British social, economic, political and military history. [4]
"Air Guitar" Moment
Grevans made the news in March 2011, when he was caught on camera practising guitar chords in the House of Commons chamber, seated immediately behind Defence Secretary Liam Fox, whilst Mr Fox was giving a ministerial statement on military personnel cuts. It was made popular on Youtube for showing one of his many examples in how much everybody simply hates him.[5]
