Hi,

here is YOUR opportunity to consider the facts.

If Godfrey Bloom who employs members of his family as an MEP were to think more with his big head than his little head he might not emulate Farage constantly bringing UKIP into disrepute!

‘Bully’ Bloom slammed for gay funding question

An MEP from the UK Independence Party has been condemned by LGBT groups for questioning the European Commission on the legitimacy of funding of an LGBT rights organisation.
Godfrey Bloom was criticised by The European Parliament’s Intergroup on LGBT rights for asking the European Commission to justify the funding given to the International Gay and Lesbian Association, Europe.
Mr Bloom was accused by lesbian MEP, Nikki Sinclaire, of abusively calling her “queer”, which UKIP denies. The MEP wrote several questions to the European Commission which alleged that the group received funding from private donors who could “own” NGOs.
The Intergroup says this infers questions over the legitimacy of ILGA-Europe’s work towards equality for LGBT people.
As the main organisation working for LGBT rights, ILGA-Europe receives funding from several sources, the biggest being the European Commission. The organisation’s accounts are publicly available, and they are regularly audited.
A comment made by Michael Cashman, MEP, co-president of the EP LGBT Intergroup said: “Mr Bloom’s attempt to undermine European funding is unworthy of exposure. He should focus on the substantial question, which is equality and non-discrimination. But I don’t expect this from a colleague who believes women’s rights are a waste of time. Thankfully, he doesn’t represent the majority of decent British people.”
Ulrike Lunacek MEP, Co-president of the LGBT Intergroup, commented, saying that Mr Bloom: “is a true role model for bullies around Europe.”
A similar question was asked by Konrad Szymański, a Polish MEP last month, and The European Commission is to address their questions in coming weeks.
However, a UKIP spokesman told PinkNews.co.uk today that Bloom was not homophobic but was looking out for the interests of the taxpayer.
He said: “Bloom and UKIP’s beef as a whole is we are uncomfortable with people calling themselves NGOs when they are state funded.”
UKIP’s spokesman said the gay rights group obtains 75% of its funding from the EU and the Dutch government.
He continued: “He who pays the piper calls the tune.
“IGLA-Europe is dishonest about its relationship with the EU. It’s going to be very difficult if the group wished to oppose strongly an EU policy because there would be a threat that their funds would be cut.
“To describe themselves as an NGO is false. It’s not about a policy issue, it’s about the relationship between that body and government.”
Bloom asked the Commission: “How does the Commission view the influence that wealthy individuals may exert over the NGOs they are subsidising?
“Is there a risk that persons such as George Soros could “buy” themselves one or more NGOs that are economically dependent on their donations?”
Godfrey Bloom was ejected from the European Parliament chambers in 2010 after heckling German MEP, Martin Schulz with the Nazi slogan: “Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuehrer,” to German politician, Martin Schulz.

    Thankfully, these people of his ilk are in a small minority. I wouldn’t mind betting there are some ugly skeletons lurking in his dark closet.

  Proof of your claims? Or is this just because you disagree with him?
  May I ask why he shouldn’t ask why such things are being funded in times where people are living below the poverty line en mass?

    kitty try to use search engines for the proof. there are lots of gay people in europe who live below poverty line thanks to widespread homophobia not only in societies but in public/government institutions. organisations like ILGA try to expose those instances of injustice and inequality that prevent gay people from having normal lives. if he cared enough to educate himself about the issue, than maybe he wouldn’t have to waste the parliament’s time that could could have been spent better by addressing the real issues that deal with poverty

So it seems that when an individual questions where taxpayer cash is going, people who preach equality ‘condemn’ him.
I know that these same people who are all about equality, apart from when they disagree with something, then it’s probably racism, homophobia, xenophobia etc. There is a better way to spend this money given the financial trouble Europe is in, stating that doesn’t make someone a bad person.

  A wast of money is UKIP MEPs claiming millions to attend a parliament they oppose and refuse to work with in any constructive way.
  If UKIP had any concern about saving taxpayers money they would get off the gravy train and stay home.

The Observer, Sunday 24 May 2009

During a debate about Europe at the Foreign Press Association – which was discreetly taped by the hosts – Farage was asked by former Europe minister Denis MacShane what he had received in non-salary expenses and allowances since becoming an MEP in 1999.

“It is a vast sum,” Farage said. “I don’t know what the total amount is but – oh lor – it must be pushing £2 million.” Taken aback, MacShane then joked: “Is it too late to become an MEP?”

Farage insisted that he had not “pocketed” the money but had used the “very large sum of European taxpayers’ money” to help promote Ukip’s message that the UK should get out of the EU.
When asked later by the Observer to justify how he could claim so much while running a campaign attacking Westminster MPs for their extravagance, Farage was unapologetic, saying that, while MEPs were “very expensive”, he was entirely happy that the money had been used for the best of causes.”

This is shameful of Godfrey Bloom, we all pay our taxes, etc and he should understand that the Gay Community should have a voice in the EU Parliament,. We are citizens of Europe too, and he should be standing up for those in Europe whom are still fighting for recognition of their Gay Rights too. Gay Rights are Human Rights, he seems to be a loose cannon in UKIP and Farage should reprimand him for his ‘homophobic’ comments.
