Rainbow George’s new single production ‘Scoring Goals’ is also the title of a film documentary about the views he expresses and the visions he experiences as a part time mystic and apprentice prophet.

Scoring Goals is a fact and fantasy film designed to play a pivotal role in changing the world. The film is targeted to premiere on 10.10.10. The opening scenes were shot on London's Hampstead Heath on 08.08.08 and the closing scene will imagine London on 12.12.12.

George believes that the people of London will begin to shine a light to the rest of the world by embarking on an eight year project to transform London into a self governing - tax free - leisure oriented wonder city. 

As part of the film production George is assembling a twelve piece band which will support the star of the film ‘The Wizard of Wonders.’ The Revolutionary Souls Army Band will play and sing what the Wizard says and speaks. - "He's going to wash your brains, and blow your minds. He's going to lead you to discover the find of finds." Already in place are the first three members of the group, Ben Reel, Jud Charlton & John Otway. 

With regard to the single ‘Scoring Goals’ George says, “It is impossible to overestimate the potential life enhancing effects of tuning in to the good vibrations that emanate from this truly wonderful song.”

George Weiss is one of London’s most famous characters and well known to many late night listeners of radio phone in programmes across London since 1984.

George gained recent notoriety when tabloid headline writers dubbed him “London’s Most Famous Squatter” and “The Luckiest Tenant” when the Land Registry awarded him legal ownership of the one bedroom Hampstead mews house he had been living in rent free for many years.

Seemingly George began renting the property situated in Perrins Walk, Hampstead in 1969 paying his landlord sixty five pounds per month. After a dispute with the landlord about the decaying condition of the house George stopped paying rent in 1983.

George continued to remain in the property rent free until May 2004 when he was granted ownership (adverse possession) of the house which at the time was worth £710,000.

He has since used some of the money to achieve his political message via The Rainbow Connection Party under its various guises, most recent being Make Politicians History Party. George also runs Dream Ticket Records home to The Ben Reel Band, Ronnie Carroll and number of new projects such as the single 'Scoring Goals'.

In the eighties George developed an interest in politics, he described himself to the media at that time by saying “I’m a fatalist and I believe that everything is written except the results of football matches”. 

George Weiss was born in Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire on October 13, 1940.
He is the son of Jewish refugees; his father came from Vienna and his mum from Budapest.  George likes to point out that he was born fifteen years to the day after Mrs Thatcher and on the same day as Cliff Richard. 

He describes himself as a “Wondering Jew” because he has always looked into the future and is forever wondering what fate has in store for mankind.

George was educated at the Hasmonean Grammar School in Hendon leaving in 1955
His immediate ambition after his education was to become a professional footballer. Trials for Charlton and Queens Park Rangers were forthcoming but alas he was not to make the professional ranks. He once applied for the job as manager for Newcastle United to show that he was looking for work.

With the advice of his father he set out to gain a trade and spent six years as an apprentice diamond cutter. In 1961 with the experience he had gained he joined his father’s diamond business Leopold Weiss (diamonds and precious stones) in Hatton Garden.

Two incidents in George’s life were to change him forever and they alone are perhaps responsible for turning him into the eccentric character we know today.

In 1972 a very close friend David Miel passed away and in 1975 George came to the end of a love affair. These two factors were to have a very profound effect on him.

At the beginning of 1976 and into the early part of 1977 he felt as if something was trying to get in touch with him, there were as he recalls “a series of strange coincidences”. George put it down to the fact that perhaps his deceased friend David Miel was trying to reach him.

The pair had originally met at a bowling alley in Golders Green and become good friends. George by the way was the first Englishman to average over one hundred and eighty in a bowling league season. Coincidentally the pair were big scrabble fans, George entered the National Scrabble Championships in 1974 and came second. 

George believed that as a result of his communications with David that he was given a message to pass on and that there was something more out there beyond this life.
He believes that as a result of his own experiences that we should all open our minds to the unknown.  

It may be a coincidence but David Miel’s girlfriend gave David’s bible to George (King James version). He was encouraged to read the bible and as a result he was drawn to Genesis Chapter 11 verses 1 to 9 The Tower of Babel.

“Come let us go down there and confuse their language that they may not understand  
one another’s speech.” And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

And the Lord said “Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which purpose to do will be impossible for them.

So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of the earth and they stopped building the city.  

George is convinced that if we as a world could all get on the same wavelength and speak the same language mankind can achieve anything it wants to achieve. It’s as if something out there does not want nations to work together who knows what we might discover about the world we live in. 

In a cry for help George attempted suicide 1976 a number of attempts would follow all unsuccessful. The first incident happened in Hampstead. George describes it as nothing more than a cry for help. “My attempt at suicide was unsuccessful waking up alive the tablets having failed to kill me but clearing my headache completely”

In 1976 he moved to Wicklow in Ireland with a view to writing a book called “Laughing Through My Tears” It was during this period that the second attempt at suicide occurred.

The second was a slightly more complicated affair in that he decided to swim out from the coast of Wicklow in Ireland. The setting was Brittas Bay 1979, George set off from the beach with the intention of swimming out to sea and not returning. Fortunately George overlooked the fact that at some point you need to exchange the oxygen in your lungs for sea water thereby enabling you to drown.

Somewhat exhausted he made it back to shore learning the lesson that in all tasks some research is a must. George left Ireland in 1979 and returned to London. The book was never finished!

His returned from Ireland in 79 should have seen him back working in the family business in Hatton Garden but it was not to be. Instead he set of for the South Coast of England 

He decided to move to Rustington in Arundel whilst still attempting to write something of worth. George continued to maintain his home in Hampstead with a friend taking care of the property while he was absent from 1976 to 1984.  It was during this time that he formed his friendship with Ian McGlynn the businessman who originally helped Anita Roddick to fund her idea for The Body Shop. 

The death of his father in 1983 brought George back to London and in 1984 he made up his mind to return to his home in Hampstead. Six years after George first moved to Hampstead George gained a new neighbour in Peter Cook who moved in three doors away and the pair became friends

It was Peter Cook who in 1984 appointed George as Minister for Confusion for his ‘Want Party’ presided over by a very aloof E. L. Wisty. The Want Party was formed on the mandate that it would give to everyone whatever they wanted within reason provided it was good for them

Peter suggested that George should become Minister of Confusion. Cook removed him when he noticed that there was not enough confusion in the world. Cook’s action was to send George off to form his own party  

Peter had also decided that George’s objective to abolish politicians and in turn politics was not within reason as it clashed with views expressed in Peter’s film

The Rise & Rise of Michael Rimmer as part of the plot suggested a referendum be held on every single issue. 

Mr Weiss first entered the political arena proper in 1984 when he formed Captain
Rainbows Universal Party to be later renamed The Rainbow Connection.
The Rainbow Connection an umbrella for many of George’s happenings be they political or satirical outings using the word Rainbow. In scripture Captain Rainbow is referred to as a most high God who never speaks but is only referred to. Weiss’s first outing saw him up stand against Michael Portillo as a candidate for Enfield Southgate.

In 1988 The Rainbow Connection in the form of Captain Rainbows Universal Party formed Rainbow Alliance a party George created with David (Lord) Sutch and Cynthia Paine. They stood for sex, drugs and rock’n roll.

George recently considered a challenge to the UKIP party by launching a rival party called Wonderfully Egalitarian Association of Creative Thinkers. Their slogan was UKIP we WEACT.

It was around 1988 that the famous radio ‘phone in’s’ started George would contact LBC’s late night programme and his calls to Clive Bull on LBC are legendary and still go on to this day. Peter Cook picked up on this too and started to call LBC as Sven the Norwegian Fisherman discussing fish and problems with his wife.

Rainbow George has continued to be part of the English political scene in much the same way as his friend the late David Such of the Monster Raving Looney Party    

After years of spectaculary unsuccessful campaigning on the political fringe George remains undaunted. George has just returned from Northern Ireland where he has been taking his Make Politicians History Party to the people of Belfast. 

To gain recognition for his party George recently sent everyone on the Belfast electoral register (212,609 people) a post card from MPH encouraging them to to agree to come together and begin to lay the foundations of what he hopes will become a truly democratic, leisure oriented, self governing city, a glorious place to live and vist.

“Our political servants wont tell us they are redundant we have to tell them. By returning this card I am agreeing that we should make our political servants redundant and unite to transform Belfast into the best city in the world. Lets tick together, ticking towards a much better Belfast agreement”. 

George asked the people of Belfast to return the cards to Marcus Music 125 Royal Avenue where he had arranged for a large hollowed out perspex symbol in the shape of a tick to receive the cards. It was his belief that as the cards were returned and placed into the perspex display it would give a visual message to the politicians of N. Ireland. George was llooking for 66% of the cards to be returned, sadly les than five thousand cards were returned.  

While George was in Belfast he put on a series of concerts spearheaded by the Ben Reel Band to help publicise MPH. 

George is currently working on his book ‘Making A Prophet’ and his film 'Scoring Goals' as well as continuing with his political aims. 

Many stories emanate from the friendship of Peter Cook & George and the many characters that surrounded their lives in Hampstead. Much of this was captured on the Rainbow Tapes a series of recordings George Weiss made during their friendship. You can find more information and recordings at www.stabbers.org
