UKIP's leadership tries to distance themselves from Mario Borghezio and his little green men

And so UKIP's corrupt leadership try to distance themselves from Borghezio and his UFO obsession. But it is interesting to note that they have so far failed to condemn Boghezio for beating a 12 year old Moroccan child or the time he was found guilty of setting fire to the belongings of immigrants under a railway bridge in Turin, during a vigilante raid.

So do UKIP's MEPs approve of such actions? Do they intend to follow his example? So much for being the Law and Order Party!

From The EU Observer:

Berlusconi and Ukip ally hunting UFOs, Bilderbergers

Italian euro-deputy Mario Borghezio wants the EU to establish a European UFO Centre, thinks that the Bilderberg Group is a secret world government and was once found guilty of setting fire to the possessions of homeless immigrants living under a bridge in Turin.

Some people may consider his views to be those of an eccentric at the very least, but the MEP is also a prominent member of the Lega Nord, which is no fringe group, but rather the far-right political party that is the major coalition partner in Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's government and the main ally of the UK Independence Party's eurosceptic Europe of Freedom and Democracy group in the European Parliament.

Mr Borghezio wants the EU to establish a European UFO Centre.

In his latest effort, on Wednesday (7 July), Mr Borghezio held a press conference in the EU parliament building in Strasbourg and presented a written declaration signed by a full 23 of his fellow MEPs demanding that EU member states declassify all documents relating to unidentified flying objects.

The written declaration notes that "many members of the scientific community have been looking into the issue of UFOs and have denounced the systematic covering-up of information on the subject."

The Lega Nord politician and his co-signatories also call on the EU to set up a scientific centre "for the analysis and dissemination of the scientific data gathered [on little green men] to date by various European bodies and governments."

Finally, he demands that the state archives of the European Union's 27 member states be opened up and for records to be declassified.

His extraterrestrial concerns echo his worries, raised last month at another parliament press conference in Brussels, on how the Bilderberg Group, the clubby, annual get-together of political, business, media and military elites, secretly rules the world.

The Bilderberg press conference was conveniently used to promote a new book by the pony-tailed Russo-Spanish conspiracy theorist Daniel Estulin, who on his website calls Herman Van Rompuy, the European Council president and Bilderberg member "an unloved, short, evil little man [who] has gnawed his way into the bowels of power."

Messrs Borghezio and Estulin do not go so far as to say that the Bilderbergers are in reality under their skin a race of alien reptilian humanoids, as put forward by fellow conspiracy theorist David Icke, who accuses George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth and Kris Kristofferson of the same secret identity.

The Lega Nord man and his writer friend do say that the alleged Bilderberg world government dates back to 1439 and controls the planet's economy however, having engineered the introduction of the euro and the ongoing global economic meltdown.

The war in Afghanistan, they go on, is in truth about supplying drugs to Wall Street, while the next step in the Bilderberg masterplan is the destruction of the American dollar.

The UFO and Bilderberg initiatives are not Mr Boghezio's first brush with controversy.

In July 2005, he was found guilty of arson for having set alight the pallets of immigrants while they were sleeping under a bridge in Turin during a vigilante attack.

In a 2006 interview with Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera, he said: "On stage at political rallies I can transform myself, I say everything that comes out of my stomach. It's exciting. No, more, it's almost an orgasm."

Ukip was quick to distance themselves from the UFO proposal. Spokesman Herman Kelly told EUobserver: "The press conference today was in no way connected to the UK Independence Party or the EFD. It was entirely the personal initiative of Mr Borghezio."

The Italian mission to the EU however was much less definitive about the matter when asked whether Mr Borghezio's thinking on UFOs was representative of the Italian government's official position. "It's a very good question," said a press officer. "I have no answer for you."

UKIP: Nigel Farage insults Belgium .... again!

We had hoped that plane crash would have knocked some sense into Farage. Some hope!

Remember when he decided to insult the whole of Belgium? See: LINK

Well, he has done it again. So would he like to explain to us how insulting an entire country and her people is going to get Britain out of the EU?

Or was that plane made in Belgium and he just feels bitter that Mike Nattrass was not on it?

Later this year Farage is due to go into hospital for surgery on injuries caused by his plane crash.

This is not the first time he has undergone surgery. He recently underwent a full conscience and integrity transplant. Sadly, his body rejected them.

From The Telegraph:

Nigel Farage brands Belgium an 'embarrassment' as he returns to work

Nigel Farage, the UK Independence Party MEP, has launched another outspoken attack on Belgium, claiming the country is an "embarrassment" to the European Union

In his first speech since returning to work following a serious plane crash in which he suffered multiple rib and spinal injuries, Mr Farage said the country "lacks the legitimacy" to take over the EU's rotating presidency.

Belgium took over the presidency on 1 July despite still being without a government after a general election on 13 June.

During a European Parliament debate yesterday, Mr Farage attacked the acting Belgium Prime Minister, Yves Leterme, telling him, "You stand there as a good Belgian but a few months ago you admitted you didn't even know the national anthem of your own country.

"In 2006, you admitted it was only beer and football that held Belgium together.

"How can you have a presidency without a government? It is farcical. The sheer hypocrisy of it all is beyond satire."

In 2007, it took 192 days to form a temporary Belgian government and, since those elections, Mr Leterme, has held the post twice and offered his resignation three times.

Mr Farage added, "Wouldn't it be ironic if, at the end of its six-month term in office, Belgium was still without a government."

He said: "Belgium is an artificial construction as a nation, and a prototype for the equally artificial nation of the EU. Of course, in the Brussels madhouse, failure of the prototype is no reason to not rush into the mass production of 'ever closer union'.

"We now have an EU president who has no electoral mandate, and, worse, no country to lead as Belgium begins to disintegrate into its constituent parts. The presidency which is supposed to continue guiding Europe on its path to 'ever closer union' has proved unable to hold together a nation of 11 million people.

"What I find particularly sad is that among the assembled MEPs, only Ukip and our fellow travellers opposing the EU can see the irony."

A spokesman for Belgium's Permanent Representation to the EU described his attack as "ridiculous and beneath words".

Timothy Kirkhope, a British Conservative MEP, said, "It's easy to make headlines for yourself by ranting from the sidelines in big debates every couple of months. It's much harder to work every day in order to deliver what is in your country's best interests in the EU. It's unfortunate for Britain that Ukip chooses the easy option."

Farage caused an outcry in February when he said that the EU president, Herman Van Rompuy, a Belgian, had the "charisma of a damp rag" who came from a "non-country."

Mr Farage will undergo surgery later this year for injuries sustained on the day of the UK general election when his plane crashed in Northamptonshire.

UKIP: Ex-UKIP PPC commits suicide

Mike Keith-Smith was a former UKIPPER and PPC for Portsmouth North.

From The News:

A prominent political figure has died after falling from the top of Portchester Castle.

Michael Keith-Smith plunged to his death from the top of the medieval castle's keep shortly after it opened to the public.

The keep, which houses the main tourist displays, was closed for the rest of the day as police investigated the scene.

The 57-year-old, of Castle Road in Portchester, had been a controversial right-leaning political figure for many years – he was thrown out of the Conservative party in 2002.

And in 2005 he mounted a failed bid to win Portsmouth North for UKIP.

The Reverend Charlie Allen, the vicar of St Mary's Church, which is in the grounds of the castle, lives close to the Keith-Smiths and has been helping to comfort his widow Judy.

Mrs Allen said: 'It is an incredibly sad situation. Our prayers are with his family at this time.

'It's obviously a very traumatic time for all the family.'

His widow was too upset to speak to The News.

Mr Keith-Smith, who ran a rare book business from his home in recent years, is not believed to have had any children.

He died on Saturday morning, but police only confirmed the death yesterday afternoon when challenged by The News about reports circulating locally.

Police spokesman Neil Miller said: 'Detectives are investigating the non-suspicious death of a man found in the grounds of Portchester Castle at 10am on Saturday. The coroner has been informed.'

Residents living nearby told that Mr Keith-Smith had been suffering from mental health problems for about the past 18 months.

He was also involved in local civic group the Portchester Society, giving a talk on military music to the group earlier this year. Ken Howkins of the society said: 'It's a very tragic event.'

Debbie Holden spokeswoman for English Heritage, which runs the castle, said: 'English Heritage is saddened by the death at Portchester Castle on Saturday.

We would like to thank the police and emergency services and especially the visitors on that day for being so understanding about the early closure.'

The castle was open as usual on Sunday. An inquest has been opened and adjourned at Portsmouth's Coroner's Court.

SURVEYOR NOTORIOUS FOR RIGHT WING VIEWS

Michael Keith-Smith, also known as Mike Smith, was a chartered surveyor by trade, but attained national notoriety as a right-wing politician.

He was an active member of the Monday Club, a pressure group on the right-wing of the Conservative Party.

After the party severed its ties with the group in 2001 because of concerns over its anti-immigration policies, Mr Keith-Smith became a co-founder of the Conservative Democratic Alliance.

In 2002, Iain Duncan Smith expelled him from the Tories for threatening to stand candidates against the Conservatives. But Mr Keith-Smith responded with a High Court writ forcing his reinstatement.

However, he soon switched allegiance to UKIP, running as its candidate in Portsmouth North in the 2005 general election. Tory candidate Penny Mordaunt later blamed his intervention for allowing Labour's Sarah McCarthy-Fry to win the seat.

A year later he became the first person to win a case for libel over the internet against a former schoolteacher who had called him a 'nonce' and a 'Nazi' on an online message board. He was awarded £10,000 plus £7,200 costs by the High Court.

Christopher Monckton: Even UKIP’s NEC starts to turn against him

At the last NEC meeting our old friend Christopher Monckton sadly came in for some criticism.

He was described as ‘inadequate’, ‘unreliable’ and ‘mad’ by certain members of that not so illustrious body.

So even Farage's sheep are now starting to revolt against Pearson's friend and neighbour!

We wonder why?

After all, Monckton has only lied about being a member of the House of Lords, getting a Nobel prize and winning a libel judgment against the Guardian’s George Monbiot.

He claims to have found a cure for Graves’ Disease, multiple sclerosis, influenza, and herpes simplex VI. Really? We contacted various medical journals. None of them were aware of this new wonder drug.

He also claims to have found a treatment for HIV. Really? So when will you start treating sufferers?

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.

And what about the time he boasted about how the BBC had broadcast his article on the Falkland Islands during the Falklands War. The BBC deny this.

Etc, etc, etc, etc .............

UKIP: Lega Nord, Filthy Racists, and Lying Hypocrites!‏

Lega Nord, the Italian far-right extremist party and member of Farage's EFD Group, has been given a taste of its own medicine - and like most cowardly bullies, they don't like it!

Shopkeepers in Naples have banned the racists from their premises, and Lega Nord is calling on the Commission to use EU legislation to protect its members!

"This episode is about racial discrimination and because of that it has to be pursued by the judicial authorities".

This is the terse and unequivocal answer of Mr. Fontana MEP to the posters exposed outside by almost thirty shopkeepers saying:

"After the last insults against Neapolitans, people belonging to Lega Nord are not welcome anymore. By the direction".

This episode was widely covered by the press and continued being topical after the Home Secretary, Roberto Maroni, went to Naples to attend the concert of the national Police band at 'San Carlo' theatre.

Francesco Emilio Borrelli, a member of the Green party, and Gino Sorbillo, the local handicraft representative, who promoted the initiative, said the presence of the Minister in Naples was an insult to the city:

"These initiatives are clearly against Lega Nord and the submitted justification referring to generic insults is not acceptable", Mr. Fontana added. "The rampant intolerance against Lega Nord representatives and voters is evident and alarming, as even the presence of an institutional officer was challenged ".

According to article 19 of the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union, the Council can foresee appropriate measures in order to fight all kind of discrimination based on personal convictions:

"I'm very determined to ask Europe to carry out the right actions to protect the Lega Nord movement, which is more and more appreciated by voters as the last elections showed."

EU in crisis. Is the Age of the Dictator at hand?

From The Mail:

Nightmare vision for Europe as EU chief warns 'democracy could disappear' in Greece, Spain and Portugal

By Jason Groves

· EU begin emergency billion-pound bailout of Spain

· Countries in debt may fall to dictators, EC chief warns

· 'Apocalyptic' vision as some states run out of money

Democracy could ‘collapse’ in Greece, Spain and Portugal unless urgent action is taken to tackle the debt crisis, the head of the European Commission has warned.

In an extraordinary briefing to trade union chiefs last week, Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso set out an ‘apocalyptic’ vision in which crisis-hit countries in southern Europe could fall victim to military coups or popular uprisings as interest rates soar and public services collapse because their governments run out of money.

The stark warning came as it emerged that EU chiefs have begun work on an emergency bailout package for Spain which is likely to run into hundreds of billions of pounds.

Crisis point: Demonstrators protest cuts announced by the Government in Malaga last week in an echo of the Greek crisis

A £650 billion bailout for Greece has already been agreed.

John Monks, former head of the TUC, said he had been ‘shocked’ by the severity of the warning from Mr Barroso, who is a former prime minister of Portugal.

Mr Monks, now head of the European TUC, said: ‘I had a discussion with Barroso last Friday about what can be done for Greece, Spain, Portugal and the rest and his message was blunt: “Look, if they do not carry out these austerity packages, these countries could virtually disappear in the way that we know them as democracies. They've got no choice, this is it.”

‘He's very, very worried. He shocked us with an apocalyptic vision of democracies in Europe collapsing because of the state of indebtedness.’

Greece, Spain and Portugal, which only became democracies in the 1970s, are all facing dire problems with their public finances. All three countries have a history of military coups.

Greece has been rocked by a series of national strikes and riots this year following the announcement of swingeing cuts to public spending designed to curb Britain’s deficit.

Spain and Portugal have also announced austerity measures in recent weeks amid growing signs that the international markets are increasingly worried they could default on their debts.

Dictatorships: An end to democracy in Europe could see a return of figures ruling dictatorships. General Franco was dictator of Spain until 1975; Georgios Papadopoulos led a military junta until 1973; and Antonio de Oliveira Salazar ruled as Portugese president until 1968

Other EU countries seeing public protests over austerity plans include Hungary, Italy and Romania, where public sector pay is to be slashed by 25 per cent.

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who visited Madrid last week, said the situation in Spain should serve as a warning to Britain of the perils of failing to tackle the deficit quickly.

He said the collapse of confidence in Spain had seen interest rates soar, adding: ‘As the nation with the highest deficit in Europe in 2010, we simply cannot afford to let that happen to us too.’

Mr Barroso’s warning lays bare the concern at the highest level in Brussels that the economic crisis could lead to the collapse of not only the beleaguered euro, but the EU itself, along with a string of fragile democracies.

DICTATORSHIPS

GREECE: Georgios Papadopoulos was dictator from 1967 to 1974. The Colonel led the military coup d'etat in 1967 against King Constantine II amid political instability. He was leader of the junta which ruled until 1974.
Papadopoulos was overthrown by Brigadier Dimitrios Ioannidis in 1973. Democracy was restored in 1975.

SPAIN: General Francisco Franco led Spain from 1936 until his death in 1975. At the end of the Spanish Civil War he dissolved the Spanish Parliament and established a right-wing authoritarian regime that lasted until 1978. After his death Spain gradually began its transition to democracy.

PORTUGAL: Antonio de Oliveira Salazar's regime and its secret police ruled the country from 1932 to 1968. He founded and led the Estado Novo, the authoriatan, right-wing government that controlled Portugal from 1932 to 1974. After Salazar's death in 1970, his regime persisted until it eventually fell after the Carnation Revolution.

But it risks infuriating governments in southern Europe which are already struggling to contain public anger as they drive through tax rises and spending cuts in a bid to avoid disaster.

Mr Monks yesterday warned that the new austerity measures themselves could take the continent ‘back to the 1930s’.

In an interview with the Brussels-based magazine EU Observer he said: ‘This is extremely dangerous.

'This is 1931, we're heading back to the 1930s, with the Great Depression and we ended up with militarist dictatorship.

‘I'm not saying we're there yet, but it's potentially very serious, not just economically, but politically as well.’

Mr Monks said union barons across Europe were planning a co-ordinated ‘day of action’ against the cuts on 29 September, involving national strikes and protests.

David Cameron will travel to Brussels on Thursday for his first summit of EU leaders since the election.

Leaders are expected to thrash out a rescue package for Spain’s teetering economy. Spain is expected to ask for an initial guarantee of at least £100 billion, although this figure could rise sharply if the crisis deepens.

News of the behind-the-scenes scramble in Brussels spells bad news for the British economy as many of our major banks have loaned Spain vast sums of money in recent years.

Germany’s authoritative Frankfurter Allgemeine Newspaper reported that Spain is poised to ask for multi-billion pound credits.

Mr Barroso and Jean-Claude Trichet of the European Central Bank are united on the need for a rescue plan.

The looming bankruptcy of Spain, one of the foremost economies in Europe, poses far more of a threat to European unity and the euro project than Greece.

Greece contributes 2.5 percent of GDP to Europe, Spain nearly 12 percent.

Yesterday’s report quoted German government sources saying: ‘We will lead discussions this week in Brussels concerning the crisis. It has intensified to the point that the states do not want to wait until the EU summit on Thursday in Brussels.”’

At the end of last month the credit rating agency Fitch downgraded Spain, triggering sharp falls on stock markets.

On Friday the administration in Madrid continued to insist no rescue package was necessary. But Greece said the same thing before it came close to disaster.

Yesterday the European Commission and the statistics authority Eurostat met to consider Spain‘s plight as many EU countries consider the austerity package proposed by the Madrid administration insufficient to deal with the country‘s problems.
