Politics

While Mottram was still playing professionally, he became known for his right-wing views. He expressed support for the National Front, supported the policies of Enoch Powell,^[1] and applied, unsuccessfully, for the Conservative parliamentary candidacy in several constituencies.^[1] He subsequently formed a songwriting partnership with the black entertainer Kenny Lynch writing the song "Average Man".^[2]

In November 2008, he was expelled from the UK Independence Party (UKIP) after attempting to broker an electoral pact with the British National Party. UKIP leader Nigel Farage called Mottram's offer "astonishing", declaring the party to be non-racist.^[3]
