William Cash on why ‘rural vandalism’ has turned him to UKIP
William Cash, son of Tory Grandee Bill Cash and owner of an Elizabethan stately home in Shropshire, explains why wind farms, solar fields and industrial piggeries mean he's accepted a role as Heritage Spokesperson - and possibly an MP - for UKIP.
William Cash is a celebrated author, journalist and social commentator. He is Editor-in-Chief of the award-winning Spear’s magazine, regularly writes for the Daily Mail, Sunday Times, Spectator and ES Magazine, and is often called upon to the BBC, Sky News and CNBC to provide insights into the high net worth world. He lives in Upton Cressett Hall in Shropshire, and also owns a property in Holland Park, London.
