Gyles Brandreth
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyles_Brandreth
Does he count? Should he be here? Like Sebastian Coe he was a celebrity before dabbling with the dark arts by becoming a Tory MP. Like Coe he was always a thoroughly unlikeable type (I was very much in the Ovett camp) before coming clean about his twisted outlook on life. And Coe is not represented here. I suppose it is because Coe is still technically a politician. And because Coe never came on like he was dressing as a Russell Grant tribute act, whilst gurning in an inexplicably self-satisfied way at the cameras and firing out an endless murky stream of fifth-form public school boy frippery. So Gyles, for your few years as a paid-up failed Tory politician, and your lifetime as a bit of a c#nt, you make the cut
(You wouldn't get that kind of lowest common denominator gimmickry from the Tories these days - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6900326.stm )

Was pretty a awful England cricket coach too - http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,6903,1294841,00.html
Christopher 'Buster' Mottram
Nasty, very nasty - http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,6903,1294841,00.html
And he's still at it, promoting the 'acceptable' (and mercifully unelectable) face of bigotted racist hatred - http://ukipwatch.org/2007/03/ukip-election-buster.html

Vinnie Jones
Ok, so he was a footballer and therefore doesn't count. But he went to Hollywood and became an, ahem, 'actor'. And his comments below are pretty brazen, you have to admit:-
'Now Jones has decided his future is in politics - and he wants to be a Conservative MP.
"I'm a Conservative and have given money to the party," he says.' - http://icwales.icnetwork.co.uk/0100news/columnists/tm_objectid=17851166&method=full&siteid=50082&headline=cam-s-crazy-gang--name_page.html
