    So should the EU have Farage whacked?

      Is 'morality' too sissy a retort?

          Because ultimately it is UK taxpayers that are forking out. I actually think it is sleazy and disgraceful that UKIP should seek to plunder money from the EU just because they do not agree with its existence. I do not have a problem if they are accepting pay to shun the EU , because that is what they have been elected to do (ignore votes and show no respect for the EU). To go the extra mile and claim as much expense as they can without seeming to do anything for it is a disgrace. This behaviour also lacks dignity and it shows them up as being opportunists completely lacking any integrity.

          Their behaviour is also sending out certain messages to the UK electorate. Whilst people are happy to vote for them to get the UK out of the EU or put pressure on our incumbent parties to sort the EU out no one is going to trust them with anything beyond this.

                    Getting Britain out of the EU is a fight they need to have in Britain, not in Brussels. The EU is essentially nothing to do with it. All they're doing is arsing about in Brussels and making themselves and the country they represent look silly, AND (if you're a UKIP supporter) wasting time that they could be spending on the issue they say they care about.

                    The enemy is people like me who want the UK to stay in the EU. They should be plundering my money and resources.

                      I quite like watching Nigel farage telling the Eurocrats what a bunch of serial wasters they all are:
