Via the wonderful place that is B3ta, where I spend far more time than is strictly healthy, comes the news that our old friend Kilroy is threatening to sue a webmonkey over the delightful video which has been at spoof site www.ukindependence.org for the last few months. (Warning: video features naked Robert Kilroy-Silk – not safe for work…)

From the B3ta Newsletter:

Tony Bennett, Research Assistant to Robert Kilroy-Silk writes:

“I represent Mr Kilroy-Silk and the U.K. Independence Party. You are advised that your site will be reported to the Police and we are currently taking the advice of a libel barrister as to its contents. I am a Solicitor as well as a research assistant.

“You may wish to consider removing the site forthwith.”

So the battle is on. Should Mystery Bob capitulate to legal threats? Or should he stand strong and proud – free to mock silly old fools who spout racist crap against Arabs?

Please note that the Tony Bennett in question is not the Easy Listening crooner once named as having the best voice of the bunch by Frank Sinatra, but a UKIP goon and failed candidate who made headlines by vandalising roadsigns and more recently with his claims that the Prophet Mohammed was a paedophile (reg req). Lovely chap. Not at all barking…
