UNSUNG HEROES

Many of our nation’s heroes go unsung and are forgotten about. The NHA would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to some of these delightful people. We therefore hereby present you with the NHA’s Unsung Hero award.

Unlike the NHA’s Politician of the Week award, the Unsung Hero award is not awarded regularly, and is also not awarded to just anybody. In order to be eligible to be crowned an Unsung Hero, you must be a British citizen whose achievements in any field have not been recognised by society or have been overshadowed by the success of another individual.

UNSUNG HERO: BORIS JOHNSON

Boris Johnson

This is a time of firsts for the NHA. Firstly, this is the first time that a politician has been awarded Unsung Hero. Secondly, Boris is the first unsung hero to not have musical roots, although he once delightfully quipped that he does have a pair of musical socks. "They were great, but they were confiscated from me once when they played Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and disrupted Parliament. Of course, Parliament then had to be disbanded because the stench when I took the socks off was unbearable, and there were fears of a terrorist attack."
