It looks like UKIP are in trouble with the law again, although this time they have an opponent who they may think twice about before criticising - the Queen!

For the past few years UKIP have sold souvenir passport covers displaying the royal coat of arms. However, the Lord Chamberlain, representing the royal household on behalf of the Queen, has ordered an end to these sales as the coat of arms is protected under law and cannot be reproduced without permission.

Rather than accept the judgement, UKIP leader Nigel Farage has vowed to appeal, describing the decision as "another step to an integrated Europe" and accusing the Lord Chamberlain of "promoting the EU". I'd be surprised if the Lord Chamberlain has ever been accused of being an EU stooge before!
