Kerr is an obvious fake character and wind up merchant. Who cares what he thinks? You would be mad take him seriously. For example he claims to have represented "Left wingers" in court. You can choose who you like as our legal representative in court - would any "Left winger" choose a red-baiting Tory to represent them? Obviously they wouldn't.
Also he is very careful not to mention the exact nature of his job. For example, claiming to be a barrister when you are not qualified is a jailable offence - his legal knowledge does stretch that far, but probably doesn't go much beyond that. Will his ego gets carried away and lead to a mistake?
Sorry, nearly missed this one, Mikey.

When have I said that I have represented Left wingers? I used to be retained to provide services for the members of a particular Trade Union, but I’m not sure that TU membership is a reliable indicator of political persuasion any more. I did represent a group of animal rights activists who I would imagine would identify as being of the Left had I asked, but I didn’t because it wasn’t relevant.

I represented a hard core football hooligan a few years ago. Again, I didn’t ask about his politics, but I would imagine that he was of the extreme right.
