andygardener   10 #508 Posted August 13, 2013 Increase eh? Care to share the figures over the last decade with us?  https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-international-development/series/provisional-uk-official-development-assistance-as-a-proportion-of-gross-national-income  That only goes up to 2011 before the current huge 35% increase in the last year but hopefully everyone is aware of them.

Happ Hazzard   10 #511 Posted August 13, 2013 Because "Bongo Bongo land" has more resonance? Would we be talking about him 2 weeks later on a 21 page thread if he had said "some corrupt leaders in Africa"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Would we be talking about him 2 weeks later on a 21 page thread if he had said "some corrupt leaders in Africa"?  Probably not, but equally how many of the people still talking about it have had their opinions of UKIP changed by his comments?  While his comments may have attracted some people to support the party, they're just as likely to have caused others to have decided they are actually just a "more acceptable" version of the BNP and conclude they're not suitable for leadership.

poppet2 Â Â 13 #513 Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Because "Bongo Bongo land" has more resonance? Would we be talking about him 2 weeks later on a 21 page thread if he had said "some corrupt leaders in Africa"? Â I saw the man being interviewed hat night on Channel 4. He didn't complete the interview and consequently walked out. It made him look a joke and most unprofessional and showed him up for what he is. I was reminded of the old saying 'if you can't tand the heat'... I am glad he is not my MP. Just imagine if he had a list of African constituents lining up in his surgery the next day. Disgraceful comment and behaviour and cannot be expected to be taken seriously, even though his age group may have once used those words to describe Africans.

Rupert_Baehr   10 #514 Posted August 13, 2013 ...I am glad he is not my MP. Just imagine if he had a list of African constituents lining up in his surgery the next day. Disgraceful comment and behaviour.  He's not anybody's MP. He is an MEP and I doubt many of his constituents could (prior to his recent 'few minutes of fame') have identified him.  When I last lived in the UK, my MEP was a bloke called 'Erin'. I'd no idea who Erin was and I didn't even know (until she quit) that she was a she and not a he.  (She went up in my estimation when she did resign. The reason she gave was: "I've no idea who my constituents are and they've no idea who I am. How can I claim to represent people when I know nothing about them and know nothing about their needs?)  I think 'MEP' stands for "More European Pay.' Getting paid (and getting paid expenses) seems to be what they do best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Just imagine if he had a list of African constituents lining up in his surgery the next day. Disgraceful comment and behaviour.  He does represent us, he's a Yorkshire and Humber MEP. Don't worry he's doing us proud, he's had to be "helped" out of the chamber at least a couple of times for being drunk. He also admits to visiting brothels in Hong Kong.

Nothing like being a self publicist.  ---------- Post added 13-08-2013 at 21:49 ----------  He also admits to visiting brothels in Hong Kong.  Another fact-finding mission, no doubt!
