* Conspiracy theories abound in the corridors of the European Parliament, where yesterday Room 0A50 was booked for a press conference, apparently hosted by Nigel Farage and fellow Ukip MEP Godfrey Bloom. The occasion was the launch of a new book about the Bilderberg Group, the elite annual conference whose attendees plan to take over the universe, or so conspiracy theorists claim. The book's author Daniel Estulin has blamed the global recession on the Bilderberg's "shadow masters" and was invited to speak in Brussels by Mario Borghezio, of Italy's Lega Nord Party; Borghezio began his career with the fascist group Ordine Nuovo. The blog Liberal Conspiracy joined the dots: secretive international groups, fascists, UKIP... Can the famously reasonable Farage really be consorting with these cranks? Well, yeah but no but. A call to Ukip spokesman Gawain Towler confirms Farage is still in bed with broken ribs following that plane crash, while Bloom was at a meeting in London when the conference took place. "The hosting was a question of good manners to a group member... to ensure good relations internally in the EFD [Europe of Freedom and Democracy] group." So Lega Nord are in the same European grouping as UKIP? "There are interesting coves in every group," Towler says, "as the Tories know."
