Knuckle dragging UKIP barbarians acting like UKIP barbarians. This is shocking how?
Story out of Strasbourg, France:
A candidate for the leadership of Britain's UKIP party is recovering in hospital after an "altercation" at a meeting of its European lawmakers.
Steven Woolfe, who on Wednesday announced his intention to lead the right-wing, anti-immigration party, collapsed after the incident at the European parliament in Strasbourg, according to interim party leader Nigel Farage.
Farage tweeted on Thursday: "I deeply regret that following an altercation that took place at a meeting of UKIP MEPs this morning that Steven Woolfe subsequently collapsed and was taken to hospital. His condition is serious."
The circumstances of the incident that left Woolf in hospital remain unclear. Raheem Kassam, a rival for the leadership of UKIP, issued a statement saying: "The details out of the EU parliament today are distressing. Our thoughts and prayers should be for Steven and his speedy recovery. Violence like this is abhorrent, and does not reflect UKIP or its members." (Um, yes, yes it does.)
UKIP has been riven by infighting since Farage stood down from the leadership, the day after Britain voted by a narrow margin in a referendum to leave the European Union. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
