where on earth did you get the idea that Jim Davidson was any kind of 'grand poobah'he really hasn't been any sort of poobah, grand or not.
Maybe master of his own lodge one year, but he's certainly not any national grand rank,
and he subsequently resigned from his masonic lodge after upsetting many others with his routine.

He was on the cover of Freemasonry TodayWhich is hardly a sign that they're ashamed of the xenophobic bigot: www.freemasonrytoday.com/public/index-10.php
For a later issue:
"Jim Davidson’s masonic interests are now extensive. Apart from the Chelsea Lodge, he is the Immediate Past Master of the City of Westminster Lodge, founding Master of the British Forces Foundation Lodge, soon to become a Preceptor in Knights Templar and is a member of other Orders including, the Red Cross of Constantine and the Royal Order of Scotland."
[edit] he may have resigned from the Chelsea Lodge but the other stuff still stands

'they're' ashamed.. etc etc. which 'they' would that be?would that be me, as a mason?
he may be a (and I don't like the guy myself) xenophobic bigot, but you seem to be assuming he was allowed to be a mason because he was xenophobic and bigoted, which really is quite ridiculous.
he was on the cover in 1999, he resigned in 2002, and even if he is a member of the various side degrees etc. so what? He was pulled up by Grand Lodge for his off-colour routine in due process, he resigned.
Just because you don't like Davidson, (as I don't) don't assume that one facet of his life (masonry) is representative of all masons and their beliefs
