UKIP AND BNP SHOW TRUE LOONEY COLOURS ON CLIMATE CHANGE SAYS TORY MEP

Strasbourg 20 October 2009. After a debate on climate change in the European Parliament where UKIP and the BNP joined together to brand the subject 'an elite scam' (Nick Griffin), and that 'the whole thing is a sham...a bogus hypothesis' (Godfrey Bloom), Conservative MEP for the North West and Deputy-Whip in the European Parliament Sajjad Karim said that they had shown their true colours.
Mr Karim said,
"'These two parties crave acceptance into the political mainstream, but their cloud cuckoo land views are repeatedly being exposed.
"Around a fifth of the electorate voted for these parties in the European elections yet I doubt many realised they were supporting such ignorant views which show a fundamental lack of respect for our environment and the very real damage that we are doing to it.
"I would like to think that after such ridiculous views have been aired in such a public environment that the public will see through their carefully crafted public image and consign them to the looney fringes where they belong."
