UKIP: Monckton could face imprisonment for misusing Crown emblem

Monckton - UKIP's serial liar - is now really in hot water.

The Lords and the Palace are extremely unhappy that Monckton has been misusing the portcullis symbol without the permission of the Queen.

A spokesman said: "Lord Monckton is not and never has been a member of the House of Lords. The clerk of the parliaments has written to Lord Monckton, confirming that he has no association with the House and advising him to stop branding himself as such."

She said that Monckton's claim that the 1999 act was a general law was "misleading".

"The 1999 act does not remove letters patent, it just ends the right to be a member of the House by virtue of the hereditary peerage. The Act is pretty clear and uses the term 'membership' not the 'right to sit/vote',".

"The emblem is property of the Queen, and Parliament has a Royal Licence granted for its use. Any misuse of the emblem by either members or non-members breaches this licence, and if a person refuses to stop using it the matter is drawn to the attention of the Lord Chamberlain, who is an Officer of the Royal Household. The Lord Chamberlain has been contacted regarding Lord Monckton's use of the emblem, and it will fall to him to follow up on any misuse of the emblem."


The spokesman added: "If, following the correspondence, Lord Monckton continues to claim to be a member of the House then the House authorities would need to consider and assess what options are available to them."

Buckingham Palace has confirmed that it is "aware of this matter", but said it "can not disclose any details on private correspondence between Buckingham Palace and an individual".

Misuse of the emblem is prohibited by the Trade Marks Act 1994, meaning poor old Monckton could be liable for fines and a six-month prison term if the Palace pursued the matter and successfully prosecuted him.

We can confirm that more than one UKIPPER - including a member of this team - had approached the Lords to complain about Monckton's use of the portcullis emblem.

Monckton makes Bannerman look positivley honest!

Monckton has:

Lied about being a science expert.

Lied about winning a libel judgment against the Guardian’s George Monbiot.

Lied about winning the Nobel Prize.

Lied about the BBC broadcasting his article on the Falkland Islands during the Falklands War.

And don’t forget that time he said that he had been forced to sell his ancestral home after losing a fortune on a $1 million puzzle.

He later admitted that the story had been invented to boost sales of the puzzle.

Monckton also appears to possess some rather worrying messianic tendencies.

He claims to have found a cure for the following illnesses:

Graves’ Disease, multiple sclerosis, influenza, and herpes simplex VI. There is no cure for these illnesses.

He also claims to have found a treatment for HIV! For more on Monckton: LINK

The Americans are also less than impressed with Monckton. The video gets really interesting after the first six minutes!
