Jesse hails from Cornwall and is a Christian who believes in courting controversy for the sake of the Gospel. He certainly did that when, as Librarian in Bodmin, he first arranged a shelf of books labelled "books you hate" and then added a shelf "books you would like to burn". He cheekily put a Bible on that shelf. That act got into the national newspapers and considerably increased local interest in the Bodmin library which was threatened with closure. Jesse Foot is a liberal politician at local level, and is related to a famous UK politician, Michael Foot who was MP for Plymouth Devonport, and became Leader of the UK Labour Opposition from 1980 to 1983.
