UKIP MEP must go for 'glorifying terrorism' say campaigners
Feb 2010
Environmental campaigners in Yorkshire are demanding action against UK Independence Party MEP, Godfrey Bloom, for 'glorifying terrorism.' The MEP for Yorkshire and the Humber appears in a YouTube film congratulating the French secret service for bombing the Greenpeace ship 'Rainbow Warrior' in New Zealand in 1985, an attack which killed Greenpeace photographer Fernando Pereira.
The MEP apparently made the strange film in Copenhagen harbour during the recent summit, posing by Greenpeace's new boat, which he describes as "one of the most truly fascist boats since 1945."
Activists are taking legal advice on whether Mr Bloom’s comments are in breach of the Terrorism Act 2006.
