It seems a bit soon to be talking about murder when we don't even know if he's dead yet

More appropriate would be 'UKIP MEPs may have injured prospective future leader'

literally where are you getting that assumption from? the article literally says nothing about UKIP MEPs being even suspected of such a thing - I could equally claim "bill clinton may have poisoned hillary after she left the DNC coughing and choking in his arms"

They (or one of them) has without doubt injured him. They (or one of them) may have murdered him.

Equally they may have fixed the bend in his long-broken nose

The article says that there was a fight and that Woolfe was subsequently taken to hospital in a serious condition.

From what I can gather he was punched several times by a UKIP MEP and collapsed sometime later. He has a potential brain haemorrhage.

This man is in serious trouble.

What a mess UKIP is.

Neil Hamilton, the leader of the Ukip group in the Welsh assembly, is on the BBC News now. He says he has been told Steven Woolfe “picked a fight with someone and came off worse” at the meeting of Ukip MEPs in Strasbourg. Hamilton says he told this by someone who was there. Woolfe was knocked over and hit his head on a window, Hamilton says.

He's reportedly regained consciousness. Hopefully he will recover.

Laid low by Mr Hookham (not joking), a UKIP MEP.

Welcome to the real nasty party.

They are fascists. It's thuggish, fascist behaviour - the sort of thing that happened in the Nazi party regularly.

Not great news by any measure.

On the other hand, Nigel Farage joked yesterday that UKIP without a leader is more electable than Labour with one.

The sad thing for Her Majesty's Official Opposition is that it is true! :biggrin:
