UKIP: Bloom's fine


Godfrey Bloom is always aghast with indignation when he learns of the transgressions (alleged or confirmed) of other human beings. But it seems that there are more questions than answers concerning the old boy himself.

We are all aware of his being ejected from a Financial Services Authority dinner in London after a drunken rant at the main speaker, and we all sniggered when this "pillar of the financial services industry" received a £28,000 fine from the FSA over "irregularities". But close inspection of the final notice served by the FSA in 2008 reveals an interesting little tidbit.

Page 5 (2.13) refers to certain inconsistencies in signatures on documents, ands questions their authenticity. These inconsistencies "potentially compromised the validity of the trusts themselves."

We all recall with glee the moment when Bloom rose to his feet, as drunk as a skunk, to complain to the President of the European Parliament that foreigners did not understand the finer points of the financial services industry. It looks like Godders could teach them a trick or two!
