I think thats oldish news now Alex, in fact we may have mentioned it before on here.
I remember Lord Hesketh for his brief flurry with the limelight back in the seventies when I was involved in Motorsport..he developed cronyships with the two flavours of the month at the time..Barry Sheene and James Hunt. I met him briefly once or twice, but very briefly.
He lived on quite a large estate in Northamptonshire and Im sure he does to this day. But his contribution to modern politics is non-existant as far as I can see. Its merely a gesture of frustration with the Conservatives. His departure happened prior to the recent House of Commons vote.
I dont think it will give UKIP much of a fillip, Lord Pearson was a similar figure, UKIP flagged him up for all they were worth, but did not achieve anything specific.
