I see gasbag and his buddies are building up team spirit in preparation for the forthcoming referendum.

Does he mention Farage's misuse of EU Expenses?

"Nigel Farage is being docked half his monthly MEP salary after a European parliament investigation alleged he had misspent public funds intended for staffing his office."

"MEPs earn €101,808 a year before tax and receive thousands more in expenses for staff, travel and office costs. Farage’s pension is understood to be worth £73,000 a year and he will also be entitled to a transitional allowance worth £117,000 when he steps down as an MEP in 2019, as the UK leaves the EU."

"Farage is one of eight Ukip MEPs who were investigated in 2017 for misuse of EU funds. One of Ukip’s most senior figures, Roger Helmer, stood down last summer after an investigation that resulted in a demand to repay about £100,000 for alleged misuse of public funds."

"In 2016 a Ukip-dominated group was denied €501,000 in EU funds after it emerged European money had been funnelled into the attempts to win Farage a seat in the 2015 UK general election."

I should imagine C4 have done their fair share of Farage bashing, however, 2 wrongs don't make a right. Or as in the EU case a few more than two.. according to the C4 piece, billions has been fraudulently obtained.

Yay, greed unites them all.
 
Gasbag needs to keep his spirits up.

Divided by the number of EU countries, it is but a drop in the ocean compared with national governments' fraudulent dealings...

We of course in the UK are ruled by the most upstanding bunch who haven't a whiff of corruption or fraud amongst them :rolleyes:

And of course no expense scandals, no fraudulent claims for attendance, no dodgy dealings with private companies blah blah blah...

Yep, that's politicians all right...

I suppose you are going to complain about me complaining about UKIP politicians being sexist?

If you want to support or condone UKIP politicians, or anyone being sexist, you have the right of opinion.
But please do not attempt to prevent me from having my right of opinion.

As per usual, you've got it completely wrong.
To have a view that you don't need to bash all brexiteers in a lording it over them in a patronising manner in order to discuss what has gone wrong, does not make me trying to prevent you from having your opinion.

Nor does it make me support or condone UKIP. Stop making things up.

You commented on my highlighting of the UKIP politician posting sexist comments about his colleague, and your response was "two wrongs don't make a right".
So why comment at all?
