He has campaigned for an English Parliament, a Benny Hill statue and for variety and talent shows on TV. Although his TV column ''Bushell on the Box'' still appears weekly in the ''Daily Star Sunday'', Bushell currently focuses on his band, novels and his one-man stand-up show.
==Early life and music career==
The son of a fireman, Bushell attended Charlton Manor School and Colfe's School (which was then a grammar school). He first performed at secondary school in the group Pink Tent, which was heavily influenced by Monty Python. They wrote songs and comedy sketches; performing at parties and at each other's houses. Bushell was involved in the National Union of School Students and the Schools Action Union, a socialist organisation that had a strong situationist streak that led them to mix schoolboy hijinks with student activism. He worked for Shell as a messenger, and then the London Fire Brigade before attending North East London Polytechnic and the London College of Printing simultaneously. Bushell was an amateur boxer and a musician before becoming a full-time journalist.
Pink Tent evolved into the Gonads, an Oi! and ''punk pathetique'' band that has continued to perform in the 2000s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Gonads )〕 They describe themselves as an "Oi-Tone" band because they play ska and street punk. Many of their songs are comical party tunes, but they have occasionally written more serious material. Two examples of their songs that include social commentary are "Dying for a Pint" (which comments on nightclub bouncer brutality) and "Jobs Not Jails" (a critique of the Margaret Thatcher government's policies).
Other Bushell musical projects have included the bands Prole, Orgasm Guerrillas and Lord Waistrel & the Cosh Boys. Prole was a socialist punk band that also included Steve Kent, the original guitarist of the Oi! band the Business. Bushell managed the Blood and Cockney Rejects, getting them their EMI deal. He also got Twisted Sister signed in the UK to Secret Records.〔''Twisted Sister – The Official Story'' – authorized biography〕 He compiled the first four Oi! compilation albums and contributed songs to later collections.
