Speaking to an audience of around 30 listeners at The Vault, the father-of-three continued: “The Nordics have told Putin he no longer has to toe the American line, hence his resistance.”

The councillor and driving instructor, who represents Stakesby on Whitby Town Council, also told the audience that his legal father is a reptile.

Previously, Councillor Parkes has claimed that he fathered an extra terrestrial lovechild called Zarka and says having sex with the alien has caused tension in his marriage with his wife.

Speaking on Channel 4 documentary Confessions Of An Alien Abductee in June 2013 he said his “real mother” is a 9ft green alien with eight, stick-like fingers who appeared to him in his cot when he was six-months-old.
