Personal details

Political party	Conservative

Brian Stanley Mawhinney, Baron Mawhinney PC (born 26 July 1940) is a British Conservative Party politician. He was a member of the Cabinet from 1994 until 1997 and a Member of Parliament from 1979 until 2005.

Early life

Mawhinney, unfortunately from Northern Ireland (this fact brings great shame on all of us from Northern Ireland) , went to school at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution and studied physics at Queen's University of Belfast, gaining an upper second class degree in 1963. He obtained a Ph.D. in radiation physics at the Royal Free Hospital in London. A post as assistant professor of radiation research from 1968-70 at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa followed, before returning to the Royal Free as a lecturer.

Member of Parliament

He was elected to Parliament in 1979 from Peterborough.

In government

He was a junior minister in the Northern Ireland Office from 1986 to 1992, then became Minister of State at the Department of Health until 1994. He then entered the cabinet as Secretary of State for Transport until 1995.

He then became Chairman of the Conservative Party and Minister without Portfolio. A role which he held until the Conservatives lost the 1997 election. He had led the Conservatives' disastrous campaign in this election, which had culminated in the party having its lowest percentage share of the popular vote in 165 years. The Peterborough constituency had been split by boundary changes and he followed a sizeable portion of his constituents to North West Cambridgeshire, the safer of the new seats. He was appointed a Knight Bachelor in the dissolution honours list in 1997.

Shadow Cabinet

He served as Shadow Home Secretary for a year until William Hague sacked him in June 1998 for being a useless cunt.

Backbenches, retirement and peerage

He stepped down from the House of Commons in May 2005. On 13 May 2005 it was announced that he would be created a life peer, and on 24 June he was created Baron Mawhinney, of Peterborough, in the County of Cambridgeshire.

The Football League

In 2003, he was appointed Chairman of The Football League, and in 2004 oversaw a re-organisation of the league structure, renaming the former Division One as the Football League Championship. Mawhinney is deeply unpopular with fans of Leeds United because of his organisation's decision to deduct Leeds 15 points for allegedly breaching the League's rules on insolvency. In reality, he's just a bitter and twisted idiot.

Personal life

He sleeps with young boys the god bothering nonce

Public Knowledge

It is widely known that Mawhinney is a cunt and a fucktard. Dave Prutton offered to forgive Mawhinney for his sins in exchange for 15 points. Mawhinney declined and Lord David Prutton condemned him to hell, where even the devil calls him a cunt.

Praise be to Prutton

It is also widely known that he is father to 2 of Karen matthews kids.
