Ah, after the horrors of LBC yesterday there was something little short of warm and cuddly about being on today's Jeremy Vine show on BBC Radio Two. Sure they had brought in not one but two right wing idiots to argue with me (in the form of Spectator columnist Venetia Thompson and UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom) but we actually had the debate, you know like where everyone gets a chance to give their opinions...

UKIP MP Godfrey Bloom has blasted plans for three UK-based banks to start offering new loans to onshore wind farms. "This is an outrageous insult to the hard-pressed taxpayers who are shoring up the country's ailing banking industry," said the MEP for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. "Small companies struggling to survive have their desperate requests for loans turned down and yet...

Back in June, Frank Swain and I argued for evidence-based policy ahead of the European Elections , and called for greater scrutiny of the various parties' policies on science. Inevitably for a pair of science bloggers pretending to be Guardian journalists, we were ignored. The election came and went, people elected a parade of fringe characters, and the result for science policy can be seen in the...

UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom has hit out at EU interference in the British banking system after the handling of Northern Rock became an issue needing approval from Europe's Competition Commissioner. As PM Gordon Brown announced plans to split the nationalised bank into two, which required EU approval under state aid rules, commissioner Neelie Kroes said: "Once again that the EU's state aid rules provide...

Hot on the heals of Lord Christopher Monckton's dire warning of the impact of a climate change treaty that will bring in global Government - a warning which has gone viral with some 600,000 views in the space of a few days - comes a similar warning from UKIP. UKIP's MEP Godfrey Bloom has told the European Empire that the whole global warning debate is a sham aimed at raising taxes and

Green Reading - Adrian Windisch (Free subscription) | 21/10/2009
This year UKIP doubled its policies, from just the one to a total of two. Now in addition to just 'blame the EU for everything' they now also 'blame migrants' too. They have strayed into bnp territory, and must hope to pick up some of their supporters. This week some ex army leaders criticised extremist parties for using WW2 images . The media associated this with the bnp, but again UKIP were there...

By Linda McAvan MEP Something happend during yesterday's events in the European Parliament that I thought you might want to see. During the debate on climate change in developing countries, both the BNP and UKIP denied that climate change was man-made, and argued against any action to mitigate its effects on the developing world. I unpicked their argument, and demanded further action by the EU to...

It's not been picked up in the news but yesterday in the European Parliament we had the rather distasteful sight of UKIP and the BNP representatives united together to attack the idea of tackling climate change. Nick Griffin (BNP) described the whole thing as 'an elite scam' and then Godfrey Bloom (UKIP) backed him up saying 'the whole thing is a sham... a bogus hypothesis'. You can watch the edited...

Blog about drop in global temperatures over the past 10 years was unexpected grist to the denialists' mill Every now and again the deniosphere – as some are now calling the climate change-denying lobby – locks its collective teeth on to any scrap or morsel and simply refuses to let it go. Over the past few days we've witnessed the latest such feeding frenzy as a rather innocuous-looking...

Goodness me, what would Mohammed (child brides be frequently upon him) have made of it all? The BBC's favourite Muzza, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown was in fine fettle on Radio 2's Jeremy Vine show yesterday. She was, of course, spitting feathered fatwas against Anton du Beke and Bruce Forsyth: the former for using the term 'Paki' in an entirely harmless manner to describe the appearance of his dancing partner...
