Some mild hooha in the UK because a looney UKIPer spoke in public of "Foreign Aid to Bongobongo Land". I understand that he disapproves of this and thinks that the dissolution of the Raj was a mistake.

Personally I approve of this funding for my homeland

Typical UKIP. They can't even be original. The psychotic Tory MP Alan Clark was roasted for airing 'Bongobongoland' comments.

Taking away the language, I think he has a point, surely the UK should fix itself before giving money to African countries that is then used to line the pockets of the despots,

I'd cut all aid to zero. Don't get me started on Ethiopia and Live Aid.

And Bongo raises it's head again after our chat about the Bongo club in Middlesbrough, (in)famous for it's African music.

I can assure all of you that Godfrey Bloom is a complete fruitcake - except for the fact that if you strip away all the blunt language (deliberately designed to attract maximum attention), he usually has a valid point to make.....

........... and I am also 100 pct certain that UKIP are enjoying every moment of this undoubtedly stage-managed incident. The media fall for UKIP's ploys every time.

Still, Nigel will now be expected to 'sort it out'.
