Ex-chatshow host Robert Kilroy-Silk is to quit the UK Independence Party on Thursday, the BBC has learned.
...
"It is just a sort of parody of UKIP," she said.

"I think the whole thing is extremely silly. Quite clearly he was satisfied with UKIP in that he wanted to lead it, for goodness sake.
...
UKIP loyalists have nicknamed the possible new group "Vanitas" and they claimed it would attract only a "smattering" of current party activists.

2. His new minion

Lynton Crosby is very skilled at bringing disaffected voters back to the fold - did it in Oz with One Nation.

Saw Newsnight on Thursday night

and the reason for the split seems be be entirely down to Kilroy-Silk wanting more and more power.

The back biting and dirty tricks in the UKIP seem to me reminiscent of watching the various far left parties. No real political difference but they all hate each other anyway!

4. Kilroy call's UKIP 'Right-wing fascist nutters'

Robert Kilroy-Silk has launched a bitter attack on his former colleagues in the United Kingdom Independence Party, describing some of them as "bloody Right-wing fascist nutters." His outspoken comments, in a BBC film to be screened tomorrow, were made only days after he angrily quit Ukip, describing it as "a joke" and announcing the formation of a new political party named Veritas.

In the BBC programme, Kilroy: The Man Behind The Tan, Mr Kilroy-Silk hits out both at his former fellow members and politicians from other Right-wing European groupings to which Ukip is allied.

He tells the programme maker Emeka Onono: "The trouble is, some are serious and some are nutters. And you get the lot – is this one serious? Or is this another nutter? I mean, I didn't know what I joined. What's been irritating is that I've been defending some of these bloody Right-wing fascist nutters."

Asked about these comments, a Ukip spokesman said: "We'll admit that we did have a fascist Right-wing nutter – but he has just left. I am talking about Robert Kilroy-Silk."

I'm in floods of tears here - pass the onion, this one's run out ;-)

6. Now, come, come, Mu, be fair ...

Who could have expected a naive, inexperienced, idealistic, modest young cove like Kiljoy-Slick to have realised that the Baggy Trousered Ones were right-wing in their views? :cry:
