Barely a day goes by without Ukip’s gaffe-prone senior MEP Godfrey Bloom getting into a spot of bother. Fresh from arguing companies should be allowed to sack pregnant women, claiming ‘most women can find the mustard in the pantry quicker than a man and most men can reverse a car better than a woman,’ it was his ‘bongo bongo land’ comments that caused the most damage.
Taking to the web might not be the best idea for Godfrey, as he discovered earlier when having a go at Channel Four News:
@Goddersukip are you perhaps mistaking me for @krishgm? He is a different person.
