OK where were our EUphiles in October?

Hypocrite!

Driving a foreign car

Hypocrite!

Driving a foreign car

In France too.

Both problems will be solved once we leave the EU.

All looks a bit fishy to me:

- I've had a wheel fall off of my car without the bolts being loosened deliberately and I think you'll find other people have too, i.e. Information re: V70 front wheels falling off while driving - Volvo Forums - Volvo Enthusiasts Forum
- I know this stretch of road quite well and in fact drove down it about a week after this incident was meant to have taken place. There were no roadworks that I recall and that infographic is totally wrong (but it is the DM)

Ukip leader lost control

Did he ever have control?

[SlipTheJab]

Does he really think he is important enough to assassinate? Pompous tw@t probably loosened them himself to get a bit of coverage!

Who's going to be the first to ask: Where was Prince Philip at the time?

[DimPrawn]

Either:

The Global Elite (billionaires & EU puppet masters) called in their undercover elite special ops units to terminate him.

OR

He paid a recent visit to Kwik-Fit for some new tyres.

A Volvo V70, eh? VOSA recall: Recall Details for VOLVO CAR - V60, V70, XC70, S80, XC90

EDIT: Also of note is that the French police have not "confirmed" anything, no matter what the subhead might assert; all the article reports is Nige claiming that they said something to him. One assumes the Mail sought confirmation of this reported speech from the French police, but didn't get it, despite the fact that you'd expect there to be a formal accident report if "The French police and mechanics" looked at the car and came to such a conclusion.

Sounds like a lot of ridiculous, made-up bollocks to me, rather like everything else he says
