The alleged comments made by Lord Nazir Ahmed about a Jewish Conspiracy to explain his dangerous driving conviction are made in an atmosphere of paranoia.

An estimated 33.1 million people think that life exists on other planets, while only 27.5 million - less than half the country - believe there's a God. Not only does this suggests that aliens are bigger than God, it shows that 'ufology' could probably be regarded as a new religion.
