MARTA DARES KINNOCK TO BAN BOOK

Thursday, 14th May 2009

UKIP Treasurer Marta Andreasen's has dared Lord Kinnock to try and ban her new book just days after its launch.

Marta, the former chief accountant for the EU who was sacked when she tried to spill the beans on EU waste, tells all in Brussels Laid Bare. As she questioned EU accounting practices and accountability, she clashed repeatedly with the former Labour leader who was then an EU Commissioner.

"I very much hope one of the drivers of the gravy train such as Lord Kinnock will try to ban this book," she said.

"Kinnock is blamed and shamed in the book but I don't think he'll have the nerve to try and stop it. I'm sure he has read it but, if he is clever, he'll try to ignore it."

After Monday's Westminster launch, she said it was a book that every voter should read before the European Elections on June 4.

Christopher Booker, writing in the Daily Telegraph, called Brussels Laid Bare read like "a chilling cross between two Kafka novels, The Trial and The Castle". Read his full review here.
