Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Fred if there's no drink handy take your medication .

max - that concept, but they can be much more spacious and sophisticated too

More suitable for the Thames valley and embankment!

UKIP Steven Woolfe punched in face at EU Parliament by another UKIP MEP and seriously ill in hospital after collapsing. Possible bleeding on the brain.

How strange ,i just checked on BBC ,what on earth happened there.

Seems a very civilised type of action.

Though I am not surprised, if it is so.

It was his 49th birthday. MEPs have diplomatic immunity from arrest but the EU Parliament can lift it as they have done previously.

Yes of course we don't know the full story about the Steven Woolfe incident,
but its not the first time an Politician has punched another, there was a Scottish
one several years ago and (i could be mistaken of the name) one called
Pound? who were then suspended.

There was another who punched an MP in one of the bars in Westminster Parliament

Haha..No wonder she resigned, and she even believes in the old chestnut that
the hordes that have flooded the country arn't a drain on the services and
infrastructure of the country..

I'd like to punch a lot of politicians .

Looks like it was Hookem that hit Wookfe. Mike Hookem, UKIP’s defence spokesman who served 9 years in the Royal Engineers as a Commando Engineer, is unavailable for comment.

Yes me too, top of my list would be little timmy Farron, i know he is but
a boy but he irritates me, then the boy clegg,,,,,no boy clegg first..then..
i know you shouldn't hit girls but that emily thornberry really gets my goat..

:D))

And don't get me started on that Anna Soubry......

There is a story that Hookem is on the run from French police

Who's Hooked?

granny i'm with you on all those ,however Osbourne would be right up there for a proper Glasgow kiss , anyone who called for a second referendum ,Owen Smith , that smug little hypocrite Chakrabarti (you shouldnt hit girls your right) Paddy Ashdown ,Corbyn , i can't go on there's too many.

Of course 'immigration is fine'. It should be OK to all and sundry.

BUT

What 17m people have with immigration is a very important issue, and 'Thank you, UKIP for highlighting it to everyone who voted in the Referendum', and this is the aspect of EU immigration WITHOUT ANY CEILING TO IT.

So I think you might be wrong, Haystack. That's what she minds: The no ceiling to immigration 'as yet' to it.

Why don't a few of you form a party for called "Thugs for Thugs".

I would expect it to attract quite a few of you and some from UKIP and the BNP.
