In the good news, Jim Davidson has been declared bankrupt because he won’t pay his tax bill (serves him right for living in Dubai, not to mention being a racist, sexist little shit).
If you delve deep into the BBC Europe site, however, you find some much worse news relating to the League of Polish Families (UKIP’s bunk-mates in the European Parliament), a seriously dodgy ultra-ultra-Catholic political party which has an unfortunately large role in the current Polish government. One of the party’s founders said the following at a Europarl commemoration of 70 years since the Spanish Civil War:
Thanks to the Spanish army and Franco the communist attack on Catholic Spain was thwarted. The presence of such people in European politics as Franco guaranteed the maintenance of traditional values in Europe and we lack such statesmen today. Christian Europe is losing against atheistic socialists today and this has to change.

Wow! And he has the cheek to call other people “revisionists”. Those people who Franco made disappear would probably differ on that one, but hey. “Atheistic socialists”? Give me a break.
One would suspect Jesus wouldn’t have appealed much to him.
