UKIP are the only ones who'll give him a peerage, which is what Richard Desmond is really after. None of the other parties will, due to the fact he's basically a pornographer who owns two newspaper titles. Well, one newspaper and one cheap porn periodical masquerading as a newspaper.
UKIP look to be getting some serious media backing.
