UKIP's latest signing in the transfer market turned up on our TV's today in none other than the Politics Show. Looking rather leaner than i remember him, he was rather chunky in my day with a low slung carriage, and he looks much older too.. but then dont we all. I remember him as a rather large Lord in the 1970's with rambling gait and rambling estate and with yellow bow tie as standard atire.
He dabbled then in motor racing, no doubt wondering what to do with himself and looking at ways to spend all that inherited money.
On BBC they managed to squeeze him in for three or four minutes at the end of the tightly packed show, but his significance now is overblown...yet no doubt something of a feather in UKIPs cap as is Lord Pearson, but of shortlived interest, and unlikely to sway public opinion in any great numbers to follow him to UKIP. He has been a Tory for 50 years...so it took some lack of faith in the Blues to derail this level of loyalty.
I give you...Lord Hesketh
