Mosleys patrician gloss deflects credibility question

Guardian.co.uk – Alan Henry – The Guardian

Max Mosley puts on an act of self-effacing modesty, but it cannot conceal the patrician gloss he inherited from his father, the British fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley, particularly when it comes to fighting his own corner.

“It’s laughable,” he said. “This is the 21st century. Leave me out of it, suppose you’ve got somebody running a big company who’s brilliant at what he does. He’s obviously the best man for the job and there is no other person. Suddenly the gutter press discover that he’s a transvestite. As far as I’m concerned, if I were a shareholder in that company, I’d say ‘so what?’. So long as he doesn’t go dressed as a woman into the headquarters and frighten the secretaries, what does it matter? It doesn’t matter. So long as it doesn’t affect what he actually does.”
