Richard Desmond - Total Nutter?

I've always had my suspicions regarding Richard Desmond's apparently tenuous hold on reality. After all, anyone who owns 45 pornographic magazines (albet at arms-length) yet rails at being branded a pornographer can't be the most balanced or reasonable person on the planet, can they? Anyway, Desmond now seems to be bidding for the epithet of "Total Nutter" with his latest exploit, a meeting with staff from The Telegraph during which the Nazi salute was given, along with numerous references to Nazis (alluding to a potential German buyout of The Telegraph) and a rendition of "Deutschland Uber Alles". So now we can take our pick of the following Richard Desmonds:

Richard Desmond - Pornographer
Richard Desmond - Pension Fund F**ker
Richard Desmond - Total Nutter

In many ways it is tragic that someone who wields media influence (although not as much as some) should behave more like a character from Viz than a responsible businessman. Just the right sort of person for New Labour to accept donations from.
