He is currently in exile in Nigeria, protected by the authorities there, though in December 2003 a private British company said they had agents standing by to kidnap him and hand him over to the UN.

Here's one of his more famous, though not wholly memorable, quotes: "The word 'conservative' is used by the BBC as a portmanteau word of abuse for anyone whose views differ from the insufferable, smug, sanctimonious, naïve, guilt-ridden, wet, pink orthodoxy of that sunset home of the third-rate minds of that third-rate decade, the 1960s."
