Godfrey Bloom on his UKIP sacking, hospitalising Michael Crick, the global warming “scam“ and sexism

We chat to Godfrey Bloom, a UKIP member but Independent MEP (after being “sacked via television“ by Nigel Farage), about his controversial character and aims for the future. Mr Bloom defends his ’Bongo Bongo Land’ remarks made earlier this year, denying he is racist, and maintains that most politicians are ’smooth-talking sociopaths’. He considers further limits on who should be able to vote - and stand - in elections, before discussing global warming, support from women, public emotion, and getting drunk. He also says that Michael Crick would “still be in hospital“ if that infamous encounter had taken place when Bloom was younger. © 2013 - Chat Politics
