What a numpty!    He's dropped a right bongo, hasn't he? 

Nige must despair..... 

[albitz]

Not the best choice of words,and poor PR,but as he just said on SKY news. It has drawn attention the the much more important fact that this country is sending £1 billion per month overseas,with no audit trail whatsoever.
Nige has told him not to use the phrase again.

[cleggy]

Got the publicity tho' didn't he? and why should we send billions to foreign countries, charity begins at home

To be be honest I find political correctness a load of liberal ballacks, Bongo Bongo land is fine by me

Precisely, Cleggy. And your viewpoint is very well reflected by James Delingpole:

He's clearly a graduate of the Michael O'Leary school of publicity.

He was interviewed on Radio 4 this morning and said that if he had caused offence to anyone in Bongo Bongo land he would personally apologise to their London ambassador if they were to be present in the court of St James!!

The point about audit trail is totally correct and needs urgent attention.

Yes, and while we're at it, there's the subject of the cash we throw at the EU too.

[albitz]

At least 40% of the foreign aid money goes via the EU.

Actually I agree with much of what he said and I had a wry smile when I heard the term 'Bong bongo land' and the predictable outcry!! 

However, if UKIP are serious about getting elected to office in this country then they need to get rid of the idiots who think it's OK to use a phrase that probably hasn't been appropriate for someone in public life to use since the 1930's!    or if not get rid of them then they need to have it drummed into them that vast swathes of the electorate find terms like that unacceptable. 

The Tories, Labour and the Libdems like to wave the racist stick at UKIP.  Godfrey Bloom has made the stick bigger and the charge of racism abit more believable in my opinion!

I listened to that with much enjoyment, and he came across very well, he certainly put the Guardian spokesman BBC interviewer James Numpty Naughtie in his place.

[albitz]

I know what place I would like to put the  moron Naughtie in.

But do they?

There is going to be a backlash about what we can and can't say for fear of upsetting some body. So let me drag my knuckles on the floor and say that I am white, am I offended if I am called white ( or honky, rasclat? etc) NO. So why are people who are black offended by the word black??? black board, black paint etc FFS. We are what we are, it is the person that is important not their Colour, Religion etc

The point made is that foreign aid is ludicrous and should be stopped with the exception of natural disasters

I believe the late Alan Clark used the same expression in his diaries. Oh, and there's a juice on sale called Um Bongo.

[2boxerdogs]

I think Bongo Bongo land is just great !!

[PhilRich]

Is Bongo Bongo anywhere near Bunga Bunga
