New anti-EU party launched in UK
2005-02-03
British TV personality Robert Kilroy-Silk has launched a new political party, promising tough action on immigration and the European Union. Calling the new party Veritas, the Latin word for truth, Kilroy-Silk told audiences in London on Wednesday that he would offer the electorate "straight talk". The 62-year-old former talk show host first entered politics by helping the UK Independence Party (UKIP) win seats last year in European elections, picking up one for himself along the way. But now is expected to attract fans to his new party as he is already a household name among middle-class Britons who are likely to be most swayed by his populist rhetoric against the European Union, immigration and crime.

#7  Didn't the Queen Mother die at 102? It would't take much to pickle someone who was 102, would it?

#5  Thought she'd pickled herself in gin?!

Apparently not. They tried that for nearly a hundred years but ultimately concluded that it had too many undesirable neuronal and cloacal side-effects. Freezing's more lizard-friendly.

#4  Queen Mum cryogenically frozen? Thought she'd pickled herself in gin?!

#3  Howard - LOL! There's a bit of a resemblance too, isn't there? Personally, I hope the Reptillians get him before he does any more damage to the Eurosceptic cause. I think I read on Icke's site once that the Queen Mum has been kept in cryogenic storage for just such a mission.

#1  KS intended to use UKIP as his personal bandwagon but leapt off when they declined to give him the reins. That had been an symbiotic relationship - both parties benefitted - and the departure of KS will take the Star Attraction out of UKIP. But KS doesn't have the political skill or following, alone, to make a successful go of it, and his style of leadership discourages followers. He'll get a thorough drubbing in the national elections coming up.
