Godfrey and his fistful of euros

Following this week’s part session I dashed back to Yorkshire to go head to head with my favourite curmudgeonly UKIPer Godfrey Bloom, in a debate at the University of York on Britain’s place in the EU.

Godfrey imparted his usual mix of myths, allegations and outrageous statements to the audience, culminating with him calling for an end to all aid to Africa because it was holding the continent back.

So no real surprises until Godfrey led the charge to the bar for the post-debate drinks. Kindly offering to get a round in, Godfrey dipped into his pockets but found, to his consternation, that he only had euros! "No Problem" said the students -we accept euros here..
