Journalist turned businessman turned author. Now a regular columnist,
broadcaster and political campaigner. Special interest in British
constitutional history.
In 1972 he started his own international marketing business, helping major
industrial companies to increase their export business. At one time the
company had offices in Houston and Atlanta, USA, Geneva and London. The Tory
government's foolhardy attempt to shadow the Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM)
in the late 1980s and early 1990s ultimately forced interest rates to 15%
and destroyed Ashley Mote's business, along with over 100,000 others.
Having had such bitter first-hand experience of the damage the ERM could do,
he started researching the European Union. This led to his book Vigilance -
A Defence of British Liberty. Vigilance is one of the fastest-selling books
about the EU ever published. His second political book, OverCrowded Britain
is about the UK's immigration crisis, and was published in 2003.
In 2000, Ashley drafted a Petition to Her Majesty under Article 61 of Magna
Carta, which was later signed by 28 peers and taken to Buckingham Palace by
the Duke of Rutland and others. The petition asked Her Majesty not to grant
the Royal Assent to the Bill to ratify the EU's Treaty of Nice - an appeal
which reports suggest came close to success.
A founder member of the SANITY group (Subjects Against the Nice Treaty),
Ashley worked closely with Trevor Colman to produce three videos about the
EU. The launch of Shockwaves resulted in sales of over 1000 a day. Since
then he has written and directed two others - Better Off Out and Who Governs
Britain?
Briefly active in the Liberal Party of Joe Grimond and Jeremy Thorpe, Ashley
left when the party was taken over by left-wingers. He joined the UK
Independence Party just before the 2001 general election as the only
political home for people wanting Britain to leave the EU altogether. At the
2004 European parliamentary elections he won the second seat for UKIP in the
south-east of England.
He now sits as the UK's only independent member of the European Parliament,
free to fight for the early withdrawal of the UK from the European Union and
the restoration of government of the British by the British for the British.
Married with two adult children. Ashley Mote is the author of several other
books, including The Glory Days of Cricket, which won the Cricket Society
Literary Award in 1997.
He is a member of the Hambledon Club and a Freeman of the City of London.
His other interests include music, the theatre, good company and rugby.
