Lady Pearson is standing for Parliament

It is now official: Lady Pearson of Rannoch is standing for Parliament in Kensington and Chelsea. Media reaction has been largely what one would expect with John Crace in the Guardian displaying the left's usual misogyny towards her and Sarah Palin.

News on News calls her UKIP's secret weapon but cannot get the title right and Jan Moir in the Daily Mail, who also gets the title wrong even if she supplies the family background, does her usual hatchet job with an extremely blunt instrument. All publicity is good publicity in politics, especially during an election campaign.
