Farage slapped down for questions about the Supreme Queen of Quangos

UKIP's Nigel Farage has landed in hot water... for having the audacity to want to ask questions about the appointment of Cathy 'Baroness' Ashton - the Supreme Queen of Quangos.

Ashton - never elected by anybody ever - was recently 'appointed' the High Representative over the EU, with it's population of some 500 million people.

The Daily Telegraph today notes that she "was treasurer of CND in the early 1980s."

UKIP have written to Jose Manuel Barroso asking him to investigate whether the CND received funding from Moscow during the 1980's.

In the letter, Gerard Batten states that in the early 1980's, it was "found that 38 per cent of [the CND's] annual income could not be traced back to the original donors. The person responsible for this part of CND fund-raising, from anonymous donors [...] was a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain.”

UKIP's line of enquiry follows recent allegations from former Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovsky.

In a wonderful speech no doubt being applauded by many British patriots, Nigel Farage asked about the CND and Cathy Ashton's role in the organisation in today's European Parliament. A video clip of this is now available on UKIP's website and on YouTube.

However, Mr. Farage was reprimanded by European Parliament President Jerzy Buzek and ordered to "restrain his language and refrain from making unacceptable comments in the chamber".

Farage says: "To attempt to silence an elected representative from asking pertinent questions about the past of the EU's foreign minister is censorship, plain and simple. Her past actions have a direct bearing on her suitability for her new role. To be reprimanded for carrying out my duty to my constituents by the parliament's President is scandalous. Is this the price Europe will pay for the deeply undemocratic imposition of the Lisbon Treaty?"

The Telegraph states that Buzek has summoned Farage for a meeting where he will warn him about his conduct, with the threat of disciplinary action.

This latest line of British-Kremlin curiosity follows recent claims and allegations about Soviet links to the British Labour Party.
