can anyone offer info on whether he was a little bit of a rotter? I know he fought in WW2 hence the German hatred, but the Enoch Powell association? Plus didn't he also have a go at immigrants in general, homosexuals, and women? I grew up, figuratively, with Gamesmaster and his work for astronomy is staggering, but was he a bit of a mental?

I think he appealed to the same people who like Boris Johnson. People who are willing to forgive a bit of racism if the person espousing it is wearing a monocle or has a funny voice.
