ICTChris Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 It's an awful picture but it's all over the media already.Sky reporting that he was punched, hit his head but got up and went to a vote. As he was was walking back he collapsed and told someone that he couldn't feel his right hand side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 On the strict understanding that Woolfe doesn't die or suffer terrible, life changing consequences. This is fucking hilarious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky reporting that he was punched, hit his head but got up and went to a vote. As he was was walking back he collapsed and told someone that he couldn't feel his right hand side. Reuters now supposedly reporting he's conscious and 'improving', so doesn't at the moment seem to be as serious as was being reported earlier. Also now being suggested from several sources he challenged someone to step outside, they did, and they were both swinging punches at each other, if true then whatever happens seems he was pretty much at least equally culpable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstarstranraer Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 And it supposedly was Mike Hookem The Guardian is now naming Mike Hookem as the MEP involved in the fight with Woolfe. A source close to the party said the fight happened when Mike Hookem, MEP, turned up to the Strasbourg meeting at 10am and “made a few choice words” to Woolfe about “defecting to the Tories”. “Stephen Woolfe has then taken his jacket off, walked over and said, ‘Right, you outside now’ or words to that effect,” the source told the Guardian. “They went outside and Stephen Woolfe got the better of it.” It is understood that Woolfe walked away from the fight and appeared well enough to vote half an hour later. However, Woolfe left the vote mid-way through and then collapsed before he was taken to hospital. The source added that Woolfe is thought to be conscious and recovering well to hospital treatment. Nathan Gill, his fellow MEP and a close friend, is at Woolfe’s hospital bedside. The source said he is concerned about what will happen next to both MEPs. “Stephen was the aggressor but Hookem has hit him and I just know the way that will come across,” the contact said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 The problem with modern day media is that a lot of stuff gets about third hand and morphs like a game of Chinese whispers, and too many sources contradicts each other, leading to confusion. That said, I really hope this one is true: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it he must think he's killed Woolfe or he wouldn't run away like this, not just for punching somebody. I wish they couldn't continue but they are a party that can and will brazen out any kind of scandal/embarrassment with a shrug, laugh and appeal to the common man of "we'll we've all done that".. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEADOWXI Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 It takes a lot to be so incredibly divisive and mental to come across as more self-loathing and in-fight ridden than the Labour Party....... But with one Hookem it is done Beginning to understand why Farage drank so much trying to control these lunatics, who by listening to BBC Radio this morning are hopefully of becoming the official opposition at some point in the future as they overtake Labour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think there would be bleeding on the brain as the reports were that he was punched and hit his head. No mention of him getting kicked on the arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
