Labour should do the 'patriotic' thing and disassemble.

Nigel is indeed a benefit tourist and welfare bum.

You have to hand it to Nigel Farage, he does the 'common touch' well with his populist soundbites and 'man of the people' image.
UKIP and Farage have also been trying to sell themselves as somehow different from the mainstream political parties, with promises to stand up for the common man and end the spiv culture that pervades our body politic.
Yet here is their leader using a tax dodge to avoid paying income tax whilst the common man he claims to champion groans under the yoke of austerity (which incidentally UKIP and Farage support wholeheartedly) which is being imposed because .......
we have a big national deficit caused by a drop in the tax take.
........
So Nigel, the truth is you are actually no different to all the other political spivs in Westminster and are out to take as much for yourself as you can it would seem and hang the 'common man' (haven't forgotten you trying to set up an offshore company to avoid tax a couple of years ago and you and your fellow UKIP MEP's claiming £800K a year in expenses from the EU either).
UKIP offering something different? Yeah right!
Mind you what do you expect from a party set up by a merchant banker, funded by bankers and the fossil fuel lobby and run by an ex-banker.
Shame some people are so blinded by their hatred of the EU, immigration and disillusionment (which is justified) with the other three parties to notice that UKIP are taking them for a ride.

Stop fixating on Farage the man.

This is about raising awareness to get the UK out of the EU.

It's the message not the messenger.

That's your prejudice talking.

He's a politician. That's what he does. That's what they all do.

The problem is helmet, you get caught up in it all like someone watching a Punch and Judy show and get all frothy and ranty. "He's behind you!". Heart attack material. It's all smoke and mirrors. Let it go. Focus on something else you'd like to do. Like flower arranging. Or sudoku.

It's not a tax dodge. He sells his services/image as a PSC.

UKIP are dross and Farage is a fool, but on this issue there is no issue except the media looking to sell inches.
