The curious case of Rupert Matthews – the would be MEP

We’ve had our eye on would be new Tory MEP Rupert Matthews since October. Jon Worth was the first to investigate his…unusual profession. Later that same day we were able to confirm that Matthews was the publisher of a controversial book on political correctness which featured a Golliwog on the cover.

For some reason Tory HQ don’t want this man to be their next MEP.

We can’t fathom for the life of us why…
