Anger as MP hails bombing of GreenpeaceA British Member of the European Parliament has been filmed at last year's climate change summit in Copenhagen congratulating the French for bombing the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior in 1975, NZPA reports.
Godfrey Bloom, the UK Independence Party MEP who says climate change is \\"a stinking ruse to put cash and power into the hands of political elites\\", was filmed standing in front of the present Greenpeace flagship, the Rainbow Warrior II.
In the film he said the boat was \\"one of the most, most truly fascist boats since 1945 ... Well done the French for sinking [it].\\"
Mr Bloom claimed that he had forgotten one man was killed and the French secret service agents were convicted of manslaughter after the bombing in New Zealand, the Guardian reported.
The environmental group have accused him of \\"celebrating\\" the death of one of the Rainbow Warrior's crew, photographer Fernando Pereira in the attack.
