'Bongo Bongo Land': UKIP MEP Bloom told to not to use phrase
In footage obtained by the Guardian, recorded last month at a meeting in Wordsley, West Midlands, he said: "How we can possibly be giving £1bn a month, when we're in this sort of debt, to Bongo Bongo Land is completely beyond me.
Labour called his language "offensive and narrow-minded". If Nigel Farage is serious about getting rid of racism and intolerance in his party... etc etc
Bloom said Bongo Bongo Land was "a figment of people's imagination. It's like Ruritania or the Third World". He added: "It's sad how anybody can be offended by a reference to a country that doesn't exist."
Mr Bloom told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "If I've offended anybody in Bongo Bongo Land I will write to their ambassador at the Court of St James."
Are we offended by this?
