CAMPAIGNER Herbert Crossman took to the air above the streets of London today to vent his concern about the current economic climate.


The 60-year-old from Alexandra Avenue, Rayners Lane was winched in to the air in Trafalgar Square and dangled upside down from a crane to reflect the way in which people are 'haemorrhaging money'.


Mr Crossman, who managed just 11 votes when he ran for the controversial Haltemprice and Howden parliamentary seat earlier this year, now plans to set up a political party on the back of the stunt called 'Let the Penny Drop' party.


He said: "People feel obliged to stick with the three main parties and look at the damage it is doing.


"Everyone is having to pay through their teeth for petrol, utilities, council tax  and everyday essentials and something needs to be done about it.


"I think this has made people sit up and realise that there are alternatives to the three parties that seem to do more harm than good.


"It's our money that they're spending, it's our money they're wasting and we need to show them that we won't sit back and keep paying for all their mistakes."
