Kilroy quits UKIP group of MEPs
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3958273.stm
Former TV host Robert Kilroy-Silk has withdrawn from the UK Independence Party group of Euro MPs after it discussed kicking him out.

The East Midlands MEP said he was remaining in the party but would not work with his colleagues in Strasbourg.

He argued he was helping the other UKIP MEPs out of a hole, claiming they had discovered they could not expel him over his criticisms of the leadership.

In a statement, the other MEPs said they "very much regret" his move.


Not very surprising, I think. His ego is swelling beyond what that party can bear.

1. That's the nice thing about far left/right parties
they always end up tearing themselves apart.

2. More clowns than the circus
The frightening thing is that enough people voted for this Mickey Mouse Club Meeting to gain them a sizeable clutch of Euroseats.

3. UKIP? FCUKin' CNUT more like it.........
The man is an insane, xenophobic egomaniac...

"Keaton always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Robert Kilroy-Silk"

Seriously, one day he's going to flip out in a debate, rip the head off a French MEP and drink his blood.

He wouldn't shut up in the Strasbourg parliament,either.Maybe he's thinking "being a conviction politician works for Blair,why can't I do the same?!!"

8. That was a seriously bizarre interview...
I don't think he liked being interviewed by Krishnan Guru-Murthy.

5. Did anyone here the interview with the UKIP founder on Today
this morning.

He's now left UKIP & basically said they had been taken over by fascists.

7. Well...
it is mid-way between the Tories & the Nazis, so it wouldn't be that suprising...

9. Strange, I thought that's why he'd joined in the first place!
The profile of the Baggy Suited Ones hasn't changed - it's just that Kilroy is getting Ickeier and Ickeier!

11. Would that be a chap called Alan Sked?
He got disillusioned with the party he founded at least five years ago and joined the Conservatives.

10. Now, fair's fair, Trooper. Bit of a disservice to a good honest loony
... like David Icke to a nasty piece of work like Kilroy!
