Good evening. the late news here on | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
The West Midlands UKIP MEP, Bill Etheridge, is calling for a national | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
newspaper to apologise, after it ran a front page story saying he'd told | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
the party's youth wing to emulate Hitler's style of public speaking. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Mr Etheridge says the Mail on Sunday's article is | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
A conference for the UK Independence Party's youth wing | :00:24. | :00:33. | |
During it a number of speeches, including one given | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
by this man Bill Etheridge the newly elected Midlands MEP. | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
He's now made it onto the front page of the Mail on Sunday | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
after it published claims he told his young audience they should copy | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
He says that's not what happened at all. | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
All I was saying is that through the years people have had different | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Different speakers have done different things. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
We speak of a whole range of people, Tony Blair gets a mention. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Yes he does but with the precursor that he was | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
However he had a particular style of public speaking that I was | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
He says he's furious about being headline news | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
They are looking for something juicier to have a go | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
at me and whole party on and it is not going to be allowed to stand. | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
I'm going to fight against this and I'm going to demand an apology. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
This is the worst possible thing you can say to anyone, | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Mr Etheridge has promised that if any constituents are concerned | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
about the article and want to talk to him, his door is open. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |

a sense of pride in the town, which has been neglected | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
in recent years but which is about to undergo a major regeneration. | :02:23. | :02:25. | |

With the other schemes going on, undoubtedly Kidderminster will be | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
in a better place in for five years time. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
