It was also used as a slang way to refer to members of the UK Independence Party. For my part, I just put on a decent sized knob of soft butter.

Isn't kipper is smoked by definition?

Left ponder here, and you are correct. I searched high and low after looking at the solution and could find no reference for kippers as sleeping people. I did however find it was UK slang for "amorous" in one place. I went down that rabbit hole for a bit, but found no joy (or love).
However, I did find that kip in UK slang is "a deep state of rest during which your eyes are closed and you become unconscious". Which is about the wordiest way I can imagine to say "sleep".
So, I learned something new today! I'm not sure how useful it'll be, but it is welcome to reside with all the other silly claptrap that is become my brain.

Ah. You're looking for love in all the wrong places![^]

I know the feeling - my brain has got to be approaching the limit for useless claptrap. The worst bit is when you know something, but have no idea how you know, or where you learnt it!
