Can anyone help the Nottingham Post? Its reporters have been frustrated in their attempts to speak to the East Midlands MEP Robert Kilroy Silk about his (lack of) attendance at the EU parliament. It is claimed that he has a poor voting record at Strasbourg.
After leaving messages on the mobile phone of Kilroy Silk's assistant - his wife, Jan - the paper reports that she called back to say: "Robert has no intention of commenting on these politically motivated stories. It is obviously the silly season. That is all we want to say. Thank you very much. Goodbye."
Kilroy Silk won his European seat as a member of the UK Independence Party in 2004, left UKIP in 2005 to found a new party called Veritas, soon resigning as its leader. So, fellow hacks, can anyone throw any light on why the tanned ex-TV star is refusing to answer a newspaper's legitimate questions? (Via Nottingham Post)
