Bully Wee Villa Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Very odd. Applying to be Leader under duress? Couldn't she just have not applied? Be interesting seeing what comes out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a statement he said Mr Woolfe had "subsequently collapsed" and his "condition is serious". Mr Woolfe, MEP for the North West, was taken to hospital in Strasbourg for tests. Mr Woolfe announced on Wednesday he will stand for the party's leadership after Diane James stepped down.

His condition is serious." Mr Woolfe, who celebrates his 49th birthday today, is said to have been taken ill after walking out of a vote at the parliament in Strasbourg.

He added: "I really hope @Steven-Woolfe is okay. Plz send him your best wishes." Ms Evans, who is said to be considering her own leadership bid, tweeted: "Shocked to hear Steven Woolfe has apparently collapsed in the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Wishing him well for a speedy recovery." Bill Etheridge, a former UKIP leadership contender and an MEP for the West Midlands and Dudley , tweeted: "Hoping all is well and wishing @Steven_Woolfe all the best after he was taken ill today in Strasbourg." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstarstranraer Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 3 minutes ago, Enigma said: In a 'serious' condition after an 'altercation' at a meeting of UKIP MEPs. Aye apparently punched by one of his colleagues and hit his head on the way down: The favourite to become the next Ukip leader has collapsed outside the European Parliament amid reports he was punched by a colleague. The Daily Telegraph understands that Mr Woolfe is suffering from bleeding of the brain after he was punched. One witness said he fell into a window after being punched. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/06/ukip-leadership-favorite-steven-woolfe-collapses-outside-europea/ Sounds pretty grim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm not a doctor but I understand that the delayed collapse is very bad, indicating strongly that there are brain injuries. I remember seeing a documentary about a woman whose son was killed by a single punch, she set up a charity to promote awareness of violence and the danger of punching. I have relatives who are police officers who have attended deaths following a single punch. It's a reminder that "horseplay" or "handbags" can cause serious, serious problems and death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
