Ukip MEP: Men 'are better at reversing' than women

Godfrey Bloom, the outspoken Ukip MEP who said Britain should not send aid to "bongo bongo land" earlier this month, has defended his recent comments towards women saying that one gender "is not better than the other", according to an interview with The Daily Telegraph.

One gender isn’t better than another — all I said was that we are different. I’m not saying that women are in any way inferior. If anything, they have a much more balanced approach than men. I said that generally speaking men are better at reversing than women; almost nobody could dispute that.

Mr Bloom added that the party has a number of ladies on his staff, including a Miss Gigi Ferrari, his French secretary, whom I’m assured is “just what you’d expect. My wife hates her; that’s how good-looking she is”.

In 2004, just hours into his first day in the European Parliament, he told reporters that "no self-respecting small businessman with a brain in the right place would ever employ a lady of child-bearing age". He then added: "I just don't think they [women] clean behind the fridge enough".
