    Gaffe-prone 'Bongo Bongo Land' Ukip MEP Godfrey Bloom in case of mistaken identity on Twitter

    Controversial politician mistakes Channel 4 News' economics editor for presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy

    in Twitter post

    Godfrey Bloom, the Ukip MEP who sparked controversy by claiming British foreign aid should not be

    sent to "Bongo-Bongo land" and claimed that women are better at finding "mustard in the pantry" than

    driving cars, has embarrassingly confused Channel 4 News' Faisal Islam for Krishnan Guru-Murthy.

    Replying to a post on Twitter by Channel 4 News' economics editor Faisal Islam, Mr Bloom posted:

    "Perhaps you will let him [George Osborne] answer a question, unlike your one-sided rant at me?"

    Mr Bloom was referring to a disastrous interview with Mr Guru-Murthy on Channel 4 News. Mr Bloom

    said that "President Bongo of Gabon [is] the current president of Gabon, and his name is Bongo".

    The MEP eventually became frustrated with the questioning by Mr Guru-Murthy in the interview and

    stormed out.

    The controversial politician was notified of his case of mistaken identity by Mr Islam shortly after:

    "Are you perhaps mistaken me for @krishgm? [Krishnan Guru-Murthy] He is a different person."
