UKIP MEP in serious condition after punched by fellow MEP

[Papay]

MEP=Member of the European parliament

The favourite to take over as Ukip leader Steven Woolfe has collapsed at the European Parliament and is in a "serious condition" after an altercation at a meeting of his party's MEPs.
Interim leader Nigel Farage said the party’s immigration spokesman had been taken to hospital after the incident at the parliament building in Strasbourg.
Sources reported that he was punched in the face and then hit his head, with doctors now treating the politician for bleeding on the brain.
It comes just one day after Mr Woolfe put himself forward to be the party’s next leader, following the shock resignation of Diane James.


Mr Farage said: "I deeply regret that following an altercation that took place at a meeting of Ukip MEPs this monring, that Steven Woolfe subsequently collapsed and was taken to hospital. His condition is serious."
A UKIP Spokesman said: “Steven Woolfe MEP was taken suddenly ill in the European Parliament building in Strasbourg this morning.
“He has been taken to hospital in the city and he is undergoing tests.”
Fellow Ukip politician Suzanne Evans said on Twitter: "Shocked to hear Steven Woolfe has apparently collapsed in the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Wishing him well for a speedy recovery."

So after the leader of UKIP resigned after 18 days for no reason this incident happens. This is the problem with parties that are based on one man(Nigele Farage). He might have some leadership aura but the rest of the members dont

That will be the end of UKIP.

Now that they've revealed how moronic our country is by persuading half the country to vote to leave the EU, I don't see why they even exist. They've done their job, they're pulling the United Kingdom out of Europe and likely the higher ups will benefit massively financially from the aftermath. I think the party is scum, but maybe thats just me.

Were the Brexit voters UKIP voters? Did UKIP have a 51% aproval in voting system?

Most likely the same kind of people that voted UKIP as a protest vote or Tory because they relate to their hate, but don't click on that they're being played in previous elections, but mostly the baby boomer generation that voted Brexit; the "got my socialism" types screwing over their grand kids.

Today, too many people in positions of power behave as though they have more in common with international elites than with the people down the road, the people they employ, the people they pass on the street," she said. "But if you believe you are a citizen of the world, you are a citizen of nowhere. You don't understand what citizenship means."

I don't know if its sincere from her, but I find your new PM a very pleasing woman if you ask me.






"The number of policies Mrs May is lifting out of the UKIP GE15 manifesto is astonishing. Almost like we are in power, but not in office!"

Most people made their mind up about the EU a long time ago. Being called scum by people like you just reinforced their determination to vote to leave, just to hear the metropolitan elite squeal.

Metropolitan elite? Hahaha, no.

But if the reason they voted leave is because of that, then frankly they don't deserve to have a vote. If they voted to leave purely because they don't like people who have views of their own, then they have no sense at all. The vote to leave should have been because the people weighed up the benefits and negatives, but instead they all fell to the rhetoric of the media. From my experience of most people, they're too thick to look past the rubbish the media prints and can't see that the media will paint -anything- in a bad light until it gets changed, just so they can then paint the change in a bad light and get that changed, forming an cycle until they stop making money from it. It's an ever-spawning set of news, it generates cash, that's why the media were harping on about immigration and ignoring the economic aspects. I guarantee that in a few years time we'll be hearing other news on immigration or complaining about trade with the EU or a lack of free movement.

The brexit case was built on lies, they admitted as much after they won, claims that they would put the money sent to the EU into the NHS was proven false very quickly, and they backtracked on numerous changes they wanted to make. Yet people lapped up their claims. Most of those who voted for Brexit are also people who would proudly support the NHS, like I do, but they haven't yet realised that without immigration the NHS would fall apart. Have you been in a hospital or care home recently? There is a very large percentage of foreign nationals working as nurses and carers, without them, the NHS is screwed. But that plays into the hands of the Conservatives, or UKIP who are mostly more extreme Conservatives, who want the NHS to be abolished/privatised.

But sure, you can disagree with my belief that UKIP are scum, that's your choice. I've heard enough insane ideas from them, enough rhetoric, enough disguised racism, that when a UKIP supporter speaks it is like having dozens of those little automated monkey dolls clashing cymbals in my brain, again-and-again-and-again-never-ending-never-stopping.

But when it comes to someone being punched, I hope he makes a recovery, I really do. There shouldn't be physical violence in politics. I may not be able to stand UKIP, I may think the party and all it stands for is vile, but I'm against violence and hope he'll recover soon.

The remain case was a pack of lies, and threats.

Personally I think Labour are utter scum, far fare worse than anything UKIP have done. The anti-semitic, Rotheram party.

I think they pull UK out of a corrupt trade union, not the continent itself.

All the pro-tolerance people laughing and being happy at a man possibly close to dying simply because he has a different political opinion.

Not that I'm complaining, always good to see the "virtue signalling" masks dropping, and truth showing up.

They are not "pro-tolerance", they are "pro-everything that media says is good". After the current establishment is gone, they will follow other ideas with the same mindset. The whole "progressive/social justice" drivel is just a fad, herd mentality is in their nature forever.

[Almogaver]

I'm surprised they are still hanging around in the EU Parliament.

[Greyblades]

Ukip will end when we leave, until then they are the sword dangling over May's head poised to overthrow her should she try to turn back.

In the meantime, they could donate their salaries to the NHS and start taking the country back and so on.

[caratacus]

There is something sickly amusing, at the sucker punch probably being landed by someone called Hookem!

Seriously though, This incident is utterly appaling and will do absolutely nothing for the image of the Party. It is a disasterous event for UKIP at a time when they needed to capitalise on Labour voters pulling away from the Party. I very much hope Steven Woolfe makes a speedy recoverly both for his family and the sake of the assailant.

[Greyblades]

So could labour.

By most accounts he started the confrontation. When someone acts hard to an old, ex-military guy, and gets decked, there is a little nugget of humour in there.

So no need to get righteous about people laughing at a man with a different opinion getting hurt - they're laughing at a rich, uber-macho meathead inviting an old commando outside and promptly getting sat down. And also one of the biggest parties in England showing themselves to be a bunch of arrogant, entitled, idiotic thugs.

I personally didn't see the humour until it transpired that he was alright because at the time I heard about it the common impression seemed to be that he was likely brain damaged or dead. But its not fair to say that people see the humour in it because they want their political opponents to die.

Luckily he's okay, enjoying his free EU healthcare, and there's no harm done besides a further illustration to the world of what kind of people win elections in Engerlund.

Since Brexit UKIP have shown themselves increasingly openly as what they are: a misaligned, Trump and fascist apologetic, disorganised, leaderless gang of thugs, as apt to assault each other as they are to wink wink nudge nudge other thugs into assaulting immigrants.

Or maybe that's because they prioritize interests of Britain, as opposed to the interests of a corrupt cosmopolitan elite, while the whole "racism, fascism and assaulting immigrants" is the usual champagne socialist drivel from BBC and other globalist propaganda outlets.
If globalist loons addressed the actual issues instead of simply insulting anyone who didn't support their corrupt trade union, less people would view them in the same light as they see another German-dominated globalist faction that wanted to take over England in the last century.
