Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone told the Guardian's Richard Williams today that his henchman Max Mosley would have made a good prime minister despite Mosley's extreme right-wing views. Mosley, who recently found himself 'exposed' by the News of the World for conducting a sado-masochistic orgy in Chelsea, is the son of Sir Oswald Mosley, founder of the British Union of Fascists, who was interned during World War Two. The young Max campaigned for him after the War. For some reason (possibly Ecclestone's lawyers) the whole interview doesn't appear to be on the Guardian's website. Ecclestone, who has just been divorced by his wife Slavika, also says that the British Grand Prix will disappear for good if the Donnington racetrack in the midlands doesn't raise the money to upgrade its facilities by 2010. It hasn't an iceberg's chance in hell of so doing, as Bernie knows perfectly well, but he'll be more than happy to see Britain dumped in favour of another venue in the middle or far east which will make him even more money. In fact he acknowledged that there wasn't a slot for Britain on the provisional 2011 calendar, so Donnington might as well put its begging bowl away now. All good incendiary stuff although Williams, a former music journo who now covers sports for the Guardian, gave him a remarkably easy rise.

Max Mosley for PM says Bernie

Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone told the Guardian’s Richard Williams today that his henchman Max Mosley would have made a good prime minister despite Mosley’s extreme right-wing views.

Mosley, who recently found himself ‘exposed’ by the News of the World for conducting a sado-masochistic orgy in Chelsea, is the son of Sir Oswald Mosley, founder of the British Union of Fascists, who was interned during World War Two. The young Max campaigned for him after the War.

For some reason (possibly Ecclestone’s lawyers) the whole interview doesn’t appear to be on the Guardian’s website.

Ecclestone, who has just been divorced by his wife Slavika, also says that the British Grand Prix will disappear for good if the Donnington racetrack in the midlands doesn’t raise the money to upgrade its facilities by 2010.

It hasn’t an iceberg’s chance in hell of so doing, as Bernie knows perfectly well, but he’ll be more than happy to see Britain dumped in favour of another venue in the middle or far east which will make him even more money.

In fact he acknowledged that there wasn’t a slot for Britain on the provisional 2011 calendar, so Donnington might as well put its begging bowl away now.

All good incendiary stuff although Williams, a former music journo who now covers sports for the Guardian, gave him a remarkably easy rise.

    Why do you say the article is not on the Guardian’s website? There’s even a picture of Bernie and Max with the link.
