Twittergem: Justin Bieber

Roger Helmer, UKIP MEP, has taken a break from pointing out places where it's snowing and saying 'ha! What happened to global warming, eh?' to, er, stand up for Justin Bieber:

Justin Beiber: Odd how they make "Taking prescription drugs" sound like an admission of guilt.

I suspect Roger has been so busy attacking renewable energy - he literally tilts at windmills - that he might not have had time to think through that when celebrity stories mention "prescription drugs", they're not suggesting that the person involved had popped down to the local chemist with a script for a packet of Diflucan. Or, indeed, had a prescription at all.

It's unclear if this marks an official UKIP policy on Justin Bieber, although given that Nigel Farage ripped up the last manifesto, it's possible that there are no UKIP policies on anything.
