Let nobody say that politics in Britain doesn’t offer a wide range of
opinions to the voter: “Godfrey Bloom, an MEP for the UK Independence
Party, has been chosen to represent his party on the subject of women’s
rights. ‘I want to deal with women’s issues,’ he explained in his maiden
speech, ‘because I just don’t think they clean behind the fridge enough.’
Warming to his theme, he declared: ‘No self-respecting small businessman
with a brain in the right place would ever employ a lady of child-bearing
age.’”
