Eh?

[i]Scriptwriters couldn't make it up. [/i]

*waits for JHJ to come onto the thread and say "they are, actually, and here's 47 links to prove it"*

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37572377

these twunts have screwed up my country, now they are beating each other up?

Proper In Fighting eh..

Dicks.

B'jasus, WTF etc etc. 😯

[i]Sources tell Telegraph Woolfe is suffering from bleeding of the brain after he was punched. One witness said he fell into a window.[/i]

Jeremy Whine is about to talk to those revolting Hamiltons, maybe they'll know what's going on, when it came up on my watch it said he'd been punched in an altercation, then somewhere else I read that he fell into a door..

Sources familiar with the incident said that Woolfe had been punched during the meeting of MEPs, but was not immediately taken ill. He subsequently collapsed as they went in to vote at the European parliament.

so who lamped him?

if it was farage, could he be sent to a belgian prison?

Leadership apers signed vi coactus

i can't stop reading this sentence 😯

can't stop reading this sentence

Should have been 'papers' obviously. But still, I agree. 😯

I'm assuming he'll refuse treatment from any non British doctors at the hospital....

Tories are currently discussing if Teresa May public lamping Amber Rudd is taking copying UKIP activities too far.

Did I read it was his 50th birthday today? poor bastard

as if we werent the laughing stock of Europe already

so who lamped him?

Flava Flav?

UKIP MEP Mike 'Right' Hookem being blamed currently.

Should have been 'papers'

Apers would maybe have fitted though...

"n. - Someone who copies the words or behavior of another"

I'm disillusioned by the people who are disillusioned by mainstream politics.

according to Kay Burley (yeah I know)

Reports Steven Woolfe was punched 'repeatedly'.

[url= http://www.ukip.org/people_meps ]So who dunnit then?[/url]

My moneys on Mike Hookem..

More likely that Paul Nuttall he looks well dodgy.

at a "clear the air" meeting Steven Woolfe held with MEPs this morning

Ukip source says Woolfe and fellow MEP decided to "take it outside" after things got heated over reports he considered defecting

Woolfe, I am told, "took off his jacket and invited him outside" - then there was the 'altercation'

So who dunnit then?

Ray Finch looks like he'd already had a fairly severe beating. In fact looks a bit like one of those dolls with the clicky eyes that I found with its head squashed flat under a pile of suitcases in someones loft.

But please please please let it be Margot Parker.

Here is a few more, who may be in the mood for some vengeance.

Is it just me who's amazed that so many UKIP MEPs had turned up for work?

My moneys on Mike Hookem..

More likely that Paul Nuttall he looks well dodgy.

I bet Margot

Madness. I wonder if MEPs have diplomatic immunity ?

I wonder if MEPs have diplomatic immunity

Sort of.. But the European Parliament can [url= https://www.utwente.nl/bms/pa/research/wessel/wessel104.pdf ]decide to waive a members immunity[/url]

I can see any reasons for other MEPs to not be sympathetic though 😆

Specific provisions relate to the position of Members of European Parliament. Thus, Article 8 provides that “Members of the European Parliament shall not be subject to any form of inquiry, detention or legal proceedings in respect of opinions expressed or votes cast by them in the performance of their duties; and Article 9 lists a number of specific rules “during the sessions of the European Parliament"

In a case concerning an MEP, the Court of Justice had a chance to interpret the provisions in the Protocol in this regard. The applicant, Mr Bruno Gollnisch, was a Member of the European Parliament, but also a Regional Councillor of the Rhône-Alps region, France. On 11 October 2004, he held a press conference at his political base in Lyon, discussing a number of politically sensitive issues. The press release formed a reason for the French Minister for Justice to order the opening of a police investigation, in particular regarding certain statements, which were regarded as calling into question the crimes against humanity committed by the National Socialist regime. Mr. Gollnisch filed a request for defence of his immunity. However, the European Parliament after examining the request, decided to waive his immunity and not to defend it. As a result, Mr. Gollnisch brought an action before the General Court seeking annulment of the decision of the Parliament and compensation for the non-material damage which he claims to have suffered. In relation to the immunities of the EU (or the European Communities at the time) as well as of MEPs, the Court of Justice held that:

[i]“while the privileges and immunities conferred on the European Communities by the Protocol have a functional character, inasmuch as they are intended to avoid any interference with the functioning and independence of the Communities, the fact remains that they have been expressly accorded to Members of the Parliament and to officials and other staff of the Community institutions. The fact that the privileges and immunities have been provided in the public interest of the Community justifies the power given to the institutions to waive the immunity where appropriate but does not mean that these privileges and immunities are granted to the Community exclusively and not also to its officials, to other staff and to Members of the Parliament. Therefore the Protocol confers an individual right on the persons concerned, compliance with which is ensured by the system of rights of recourse established by the Treaty.”[/i]

The General Court rejected both actions brought by Mr. Gollnisch saying that the press release is irrelevant to his parliamentary duties since it was published by the Front National group of the Rhône-Alpes, of which he was president. The case underlines the classic functional approach in relation to the immunities of international organizations and the Court points to a clear distinction between the acts of MEPs as MEPs and other acts.

I don't think blows to head qualify as an opinion though.

Poor bugger. Hope he makes a full recovery, if only so I can enjoy the story without guilt.

Tories are currently discussing if Teresa May public lamping Amber Rudd is taking copying UKIP activities too far.

And the parliamentary labour party is excited by this brave new world of leadership contests

[i]Brussels journalists now reporting Mike Hookem is "in a car chase with French police"[/i]

Nice to know that UK politics is in such safe hands.

wouldn't wish what's happened to Steven Woolfe on anybody, but jeezus, what a way to behave. 🙄

[i]@RobNisbetSky says Woolfe now conscious and @Nigel_Farage is on his way to the hospital to see him[/i]

poor blighter, it's not his day.

(in all seriousness - he's a husband and father and I hope he makes a quick and full recovery).

Ha, I was right it was Mike Hookem..

Found it on Hookems twitter feed.

Allegedly now fleeing and being pursued by French police, if twitter fodder is to be believed, I'm not on there much, I suspect there's as much ahem factual evidence on there as there is here at times.

I guess he's lucky he didn't have a (long) knife at hand.

UKIP MEPs -

[img] ?1401062656[/img]

it looks like a childs face has been badly photoshopped in place of his real face.

Neil Hamilton pouring oil on the fire;

Allegedly now fleeing and being pursued by French police

Strasbourg, innit?

[img] :large[/img]

From that twitter feed no idea if it's actual footage or not.

Maybe he's heading to Calais so he can hitch a lift in the back of an HGV?

Woolfe statement

In Brussels??

Must have escaped from the zoo

[img] [/img]

Ah good, he's going to be OK. Take the stabilisers off, it's full power pisstaking from here on in

Not sure I'd trust those CT scan results. They suggest they actually found a brain in a UKIP MEP. It could just be one big clot.

It's been claimed he said he was considering defecting to the Tories so someone beat him up, nice party.

[img] [/img]

That ITV pic is weird. I've never seen anyone look more like a chalk outline.

I guess he's lucky he didn't have a (long) knife at hand.

Just wait until tonight.

So where is Hookem?

Last heard a Calais bound train being searched, he must be under arrest by now bet he's pleased with the European Arrest warrant.

It's been claimed he said he was considering defecting to the Tories so someone beat him up, nice party.

From the previous page,

Woolfe, I am told, "took off his jacket and invited him outside" - then there was the 'altercation'

So basically he said "do you want a fight?" and received one. Sounds like it's his own stupid fault to me.

Can't be his fault - it's the EU's fault for providing a door against which to bash his head.

51% of the UK voted, in all reality, to a punch up.

Just got one.

Dicks.

Next thing it will all our own fault that he lost.....

[i]51% of the UK voted, in all reality, to a punch up.[/i]

It was 36% of registered voters, not of the UK...

But he is wearing his jacket in that ITV Midsomer Murders pose?

#meejaaconspiracyinnit

So to get this straight, he invited someone to participate in something before realising he had absolutely no experience in the thing he'd invited them to participate in. And now it's turned out spectacularly badly and everyone else involved is running away to hide, leaving others who wanted no part of it to clear up the mess.

Hmmmmm.......

At least we have some nice European healthcare agreements that means he is treated for free.

[i]But he is wearing his jacket in that ITV Midsomer Murders pose?[/i]

story is he didn't collapse immediately.

It was right Hookum, who said he was thinking of defecting to ukip lite, Woolfie then offered him a fight which turned out to be a mistake.

Why are the press encouraged to pee from their seats in the parliament building?

I badly.....BADLY want Hookem to get to the UK so he can be arrested on an EU warrant.

[img] [/img]

More likely that Paul Nuttall he looks well dodgy.

No, it said it was a punch, not a head butt.

In that pic ^^ I see no evidence of cans of Stella, nor a G'urland flag, no sick/vomit on the walkway nor any tattoo...

Standards are indeed slipping UKIP.

Hookem? There's some nominative determinism for you.

[img] [/img]

UKIP on self destruct
Labour on self destruct
Tories on a nationalist course spreading racist hate by trying to pander to UKIP voters.
Lib Dems - ? RIP

Farage meanwhile is helping Trump into power so that's another country he'll ruin, if not the world.

HIGNFY will have a cracking first show of the series

Comedy value aside... What hope is there for this country with politicians like this?

Woolfe, I am told, "took off his jacket and invited him outside" - then there was the 'altercation'

[i]Would you rather your MEP was a talker or a doer? [/i]

With politicians it's talk, every time.

It's called diplomacy and, generally speaking, less people end up dead when politicians stick to talking not doing.

Would you rather your MEP was a talker or a doer?

The whole UKIP strategy as MEPs is to do absolutely nothing. Participate in nothing. Woolfe is just as an effective representative of his constituency in Strasborg unconscious on the floor as he is when he's conscious and pointedly doing nothing.

Talker

Prescott anyone?

Just as well it didn't happen here. Don't want our citizens being treated by foreign doctors.

It says he went off to vote on something just prior to his collapse. Have they quietly shelved their 'do nothing' approach?

Christ - Imagine how this is playing in the news internationally. What a cripplingly embarrassing cluster of thunder ****s.

I think International news is collectively going WTF ZOMG ROFLCOPTERS ELEVENTYONE at both the UK and US right now.

It's ****ing shameful. Mike Godwin would be rolling in his grave if he wasn't still alive.

But it doesn't really matter what anyone off our shoreline thinks post Brexit does it.

Europe and the US think we're a bunch of inbreads, China sees us as a place to rape and pillage, South America doesn't even know we exist other than the Argentinians who are half German, and like who cares.

The UK has always had an image of Roast Beef and Bowler Hats and London Taxis. That's all changing, the realisation that 51% of the population would pick a fight and puke rather than string an intelligent conversation together.

It what we really are, inbreads.

the US think we're a bunch of inbreads,

No. They don't.

I'm in the US almost every other week at the moment, and that opinion isn't even vaguely shown. But hey, don't let facts get in the way of your rant. 🙂
