    UKIP faces a fresh sexism row after the party's treasurer claimed women are failing to progress in theboardroom because they are 'absolutely nowhere' when it comes to competitive sports such as chess.

    Stuart Wheeler was accused of being sexist after suggesting in a debate that having more women wasnot necessarily an advantage.

    The UKIP donor and treasurer said: I would just like to challenge the idea that it is necessarily right tohave a lot of women or a particular number on a board.'

    Women make up 17 per cent of boards of FTSE 100 firms, and several of the top 100 companies do nothave a single female board director. Just three per cent of chief executive are women.

    One of the panelists at the debate at the Institute of Economic Affairs, was UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloomwho caused a storm last week by claiming Britains foreign aid goes to bongo bongo land.

    He said quotas for women in companies would come in Britain as a result of pressure from the EuropeanUnion and said: We have to fight this tooth and nail, saying the idea was totally patronising andarchaic.

    Outspoken: UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom, who railed against foreign aid being sent to

    'Bongo Bongo land', vowed to fight plans for w omen on company boards 'tooth and

    nail'

    UKIP BLUNDER SEES WELSH WEBSITE LAUNCHED AS 'BLACK INDEPENDENCE PARTY'

    UKIP blundered further when they launched a website in Wales calling themselves the 'BlackIndependence party'.

    When trying to translate the party's name into Welsh they came up with 'Plaid Annibyniaeth y Du.' DU isthe abbreviation for the UK in Welsh but 'du' means black.

    A spokesman said: 'It's a screw up, we have now rectified it' and said it was not a re-branding of theparty.

    Its MEP Godfrey Bloom has been under fire for saying Britain sends foreign aid to 'bongo bongo land' -which he denied was racist or intended to be a derogatory reference to Africa.

    UKIP says it wants an end to 'mass, uncontrolled immigration' including a five-year freeze on permanentsettlement, and any future migration strictly limited to those who can 'clearly be shown to benefit theBritish people as a whole and our economy'.

    They would not allow immigrants to apply for public housing or benefits until they had paid tax for fiveyears.

    In order to achieve these goals they say Britain would have to leave the EU because there are norestrictions on other EU citizens moving to the UK while it remains a member.

    Mr Bloom claimed if anyone suffered prejudice it was actually men saying in many walks of life womenare promoted beyond their abilities.

    He said: If you worked certainly in the public sector or a reasonably large company who can smell whichway the wind is blowing, you are far more likely to be advanced by being a woman in your quest forpromotion than disadvantaged.

    Nigel [Farage] and I can give you personal stories about how that's worked in the [European]Commission where very, very highly qualified men have been jumped over to get a woman into a more

    senior position with nowhere near the qualifications.

    He also claimed that when he was in the army, before becoming a City pension fund manager, womenwere allowed to pass courses because examiners didn't have the bottle to fail them.

    Mr Bloom has previously courted controversy by claiming that no self-respecting small businessman witha brain in the right place would ever employ a lady of child-bearing age.

    And he claimed many women do not want to be on the boards of companies as they make wiserchoices about their careers.

    Those who want quotas, he said, sadly have no great confidence in their sisters and think women needspecial help.

    He has had several successful female bosses during his career, he said, saying: My ultimate boss ofcourse was her Majesty. I go home and I work for another one Mrs Bloom. I go up to my secretarysoffice and she tells me exactly what to do.

    Mr Bloom also joked that he and Nigel Farage, the UKIP leader, had been trying and failing to be invitedto one of Italian President Silvio Berlusconis infamous bunga bunga parties for years.

    He said: We still hope that he somehow manages another term and he remembers us.

    Dr Gerada and fellow panelists including Jo Fairley, a former magazine editor and the founder of Greenand Blacks chocolate, argued that quotas were not the answer but the root causes of under-representation of women such as flexible working hours, childcare costs and low aspirations amonggirls at school could be tackled.

    jus t lis tened to his interview on bbc radio and what he was sayinghis that Men are better at somethings and women at

    others so we should use them where they are best suited and we should not promote women at the expense of better

    qualified Men. sounds about right to me.

    More flimsy anti-UKIP propaganda. The news media (prodded by the 3 main poli tical parties) will publish any comment

    out of context, desperately fanning a tiny spark in the hope that it will turn into flames. Isn't it a fact that *FEMALE* UKIP

    councillors stood for election recently, and indeed were elected. That's all you really need to know. Women are valued

    and equal partners in the UKIP movement, just as they should be. Attempts to throw mud at UKIP in the hope that some

    of will stick are both transparent and laughable.

    It seem s to me that UKIP is the only party which allows its members to express their own opinions. Tories, Liebour and

    The man is speaking sens e. If women have to compete agains t men without special help they will nearly always lose.

    This truth upsets feminists who want to blame women's deficiencies of "social isation" and the patriarchy, instead of

    women's biology and genetics. Women have been over promoted in the public sector and it has been dis astrous, just

    look at the NHS which is 77% female, mos t hospitals are run by women and you can see the disasters that have beenwrought there. UKIP once again have the guts to speak out against the established political correct norm, good on them.

    It seems that many commentators here don't like people having individual opinions when they stray outside of the usual

    area of 'acceptability', ie. political correctness, a.k.a. left-wing m ind-bending. Take a look at Europe's most thriving

    economy, Germany, where there is very little female representation in the boardroom. Alas, we live in an age where the

    truth is considered subversive.

    love to know if conversations in dark, smoke filled rooms between your newspaper's bosses and the powers-that-be lie

    behind this campaign. Scared, no? But go ahead - destroy UKIP and show this country up for the democratic sham that it

    is . But while you're busy playing at a democratic stitch up, perhaps you should ask yourselves what will the people dowhen they have no one to vote for but the three headed hydra of LibLabCon?

    Legally imposed quotas have no place at all in what is s upposed to be a free market economy. Appointments should be

    made purely on merit regardles s of sex, race, colour, creed or sexual orientation. To do otherwise is only going to work to

    the detriment of an organization, be it public or private.

    It doesn't apply to women, I find more and more people are incapable of forward thinking. This is a resul t of the education

    system teaching people "what to think" instead of "how to think". And a good solution is to encourage playing chess in

    Any fact is 'sexis t' if it is a fact that feminits refuse to accept. It is their default form of dis miss ing any rational argum ent

    few selective, cherry-picked areas (dis criminatory in itself!) of business then it is self-defeating because anyone who

    Okies, so based on the gripes about this guy's comments will we s ee men and women (am I allowed to use those

    words?) will we see dual sex (at least) cycling or 100m races, ad infinitum, get a grip folks, we are different, and for very

    Strange how articles des igned to sm ear UKIP stay around for days but others concerning the other 3 parties disappear

    almost immediately! I have tried to post many comments in ref to Labour MEP's votes in connection with Jan 2014 and

    not one has been printed! And that is an important fact.

    I totally agree with him. Margaret Thatcher did more harm to our society by sel ling off public services than s he did good.

    The Blair Babes were on the whole a load of numpties. As a woman I firmly agree that women should only get ANY job or

    position if they are absolutely the best candidate.

    The DM had no criticism of Mr Wheeler when he was a donor for the Conservatives, before they turned into Europhiles

    and he left, but suddenly he's being s ingled out for being with UKIP. Hard luck DM, I'm still voting UKIP and he's right

    what he's saying, men and women have different qualities and only some excel in each other's fields. So at the end of

    the day it's the best person for the job who should be doing i t, people should not be put in a top post purely because of

    their gender. Mr Bloom was right too, he said that all the red tape making young women able to claim so much from

    sm all bus inesses if they got pregnant, means no one wants to employ them as they are a risk financially to small

    companies, so the women have become victims of those who make up the legis lation. Yet again UKIP people are the

    only ones wi th common s ense. How much is Dr Gerada's quango being paid out of our tax money?

    Not long ago Tory head office announced a campaign to discredit UKiP - now every time a UKiP member opens his

    mouth the press are there to record, distort and publish what he says. Pure coincidence, I'm sure.

    I can play chess . Quite well too. I had a teacher in primary school who taught us chess from the age of seven and ran the

    school chess club. He also taught us heraldry - he was the sort of innovative teacher we need now. But this was 60 years

    ago. But chess and an interest in heraldry have s tayed with m e. Thank you Mr Norton
