Why would he be considering a defecation when he is standing as a leadership candidate?

He'd just had a lot to eat and really needed to go

I had to check then to see if I had actually made a typo.

ITV have an image from when he collapsed

Apparently Mike Hookem is the other MEP in question.

[Trelliz]

Bear Grylls to attempt the impossible; survive as UKIP leader for more than two weeks.

[TigaSefi]

Apparently Mike Hookem is the other MEP in question.

Dat name.....

[KK]

He hooked him all right.

[Hexx]

One hit, fell and knocked his head.

In hospital in potentially "life theatening" situation...

strawberry floating morons. Why's he still holding his briefcase unless he was sucker punched?

I've been on that bridge before though, claim to fame. Hated that building, you'll never find a more pretentious place. Except when MEPs are assaulting each other, obviously.

[Lagamorph]

So the guy who punched him is an ex Royal Marine.

Probably not the best guy to pick a fight with really.

[Hexx]

He got punched, hit his head - got up went away and later collapsed

If you ever hit your head hard, you should go straight to A&E even if you feel well. You can't tell if your brain is bleeding until it gets serious & you collapse.

I came in here to laugh about UKIP woes being worse than Labour but this all seems a bit serious from the latest updates.

If he was punched, the MEP responsible needs to be arrested. I hope there isn't some kind of diplomatic loophole where MEPs can't be arrested or something.

No police were called apparently, and no investigations are currently ongoing

UKIP operate the "snitches get stiches" policy.

[Rex Kramer]

Apparently Mike Hookem is the other MEP in question.

Dat name.....

He's also given several speeches on the UK fishing industry.

"[Neil] Hamilton says there is “too much violence” going on in Ukip at the moment. Not physical violence but abuse, he says."

Not Enough Physical Violence in UKIP, says Hamilton. More at 9.

[Lagamorph]

Apparently he's on the run and in a car chase with police.


Woolfe is also now conscious in hospital.

Sounds like one of those foreign criminal types that UKIP have been warning us about...

[KK]

Looks the type.
