Lord Monckton mocked as ‘newest Sacha Baron Cohen’ character

[Viking12]

While many people may think that character comedian Sacha Baron Cohen is off filming “The Dictator,” Australian television host Craig Reucassel claims to have discovered a side project for Cohen. According to Reucassel, Cohen has been disguising himself as Lord Christopher Monckton, adviser to former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher and famed climate change denier for years.

Monckton's response? Why they're fascists, of course.

1. I think he's also Herm Cain.

2. Argh; one of the nuttiest nuts in England

He's a member of UKIP, supposedly a single-issue anti-EU party, but in practice mainly a refuge for ex-Tories who think their former party has become too liberal since the sad departure of Maggie Thatcher. Even by their standards, Monckton is a complete loony.

As I said in a post some time ago::

'Lord Monckton, one of the last politically active hereditary peers, and a former advisor to Maggie Thatcher is perhaps the best example (of a nutty UKIP-er). He is best known for climate change denialism, but also is generally a 'British teabagger' type, who actually has addressed Tea Party meetings in America, and has said of his aims for British politics: "leave the European Union, close down 90 per cent of government services and shift power away from the atheistic, humanistic government and into the hands of families and individuals". He is also a quack, who claims on the UKIP website to have developed a broad-spectrum cure for infectious diseases, including 'Graves’ Disease, multiple sclerosis, influenza, and herpes simplex VI'.

He also once said that the 2009 UN conference on climate change would bring us a Communist world government!

3. Climate sceptic Lord Monckton told he's not member of House of Lords

5. Struth, he would have fooled me!!!

"Struth" = Australian for "bloody hell" = "you're shitting me"

A little background on Craig...he's a member of The Chaser's War on Everything, the comedy group that achieved international "fame" when they hired a limo, put a Canadian flag on it and cracked the APEC meeting in Sydney in 2007 with one of their members dressed as OBL. 20 million bucks worth of security and two guys get through with passes that have the words "Joke" and "Insecurity" on them. In hindsight, the passes were very accurate. More can be found here...

Monckton is one of my favourite idiots. Some of you may not know he has won the Nobel Prize. But he has. Just not the Scandinavian one. "His contribution to the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report in 2007 - the correction of a table inserted by IPCC bureaucrats that had overstated tenfold the observed contribution of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets to sea-level rise - earned him the status of Nobel Peace Laureate. His Nobel prize pin, made of gold recovered from a physics experiment, was presented to him by the Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Rochester, New York, USA."

Of course, you want a link. Here's Monckton's organization <http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/personnel.html>

But fear not, he's sure to win the next six in a row. From his recent research from his UKIP CV...

"2008-present: RESURREXI Pharmaceutical: Director responsible for invention and development of a broad-spectrum cure for infectious diseases. Patents have now been filed. Patients have been cured of various infectious diseases, including Graves’ Disease, multiple sclerosis, influenza, and herpes simplex VI. Our first HIV patient had his viral titre reduced by 38% in five days, with no side-effects. Tests continue."
