Farage should check his own funds before accusing others of being in it for the money

Print Friendly

UKIP MEP Nigel Farage was on BBC Radio Five in this morning, campaigning for an EU referendum.

He said (23:00-24:00):

“Fifty one per cent of Labour voters do not want the European Union, but nearly 100%, sadly, of Labour politicians have been bought, and they love the money, and they love the status that Brussels has given them…

“New Labour loves the money.”

Nigel-Farage-Lord-PearsonFor Farage to complain about financial impropriety by other parties beggars belief.

UKIP and its MEPs have repeatedly shown themselves to be some of the most corrupt members of the entire British political establishment.

Firstly, there was the saga of MEP Tom Wise. Wise was sentenced to two years in jail in 2009 for massive expenses fraud.

Although he had been outed twice before, first in 2005 and again in 2007, the straw that broke the camel’s back appears to have been a sting made by the News of the World in that year (no longer online, for obvious reasons) in which he said:

“At the end of the day I made £2,000 this week. I don’t know what an MEP’s job is. No one’s ever given me a job description. I’ve no idea what an MEP should or shouldn’t do. So you make it up as you go along.

“Yes, I am milking the system, in as much as I’m overpaid for the amount of expenses I’ve had. But the system is ‘Ignore what it’s cost you, this is what we pay you!’ I clean up the profit. I’ve spent whatever-it-was pounds tonight and I’ll still make a humungous profit. Thank you very much!”

The actual funds that brought him down were from his secretarial allowance; although he was given £3,000 a month to pay his secretary, her wage was only £500 a month, with the rest being spent “in support of his own interests”. From November 2004 to October 2005 he claimed £39,100 from the fund set aside for MEPs’ assistants, and paid Lindsay Jenkins just £13,555.

Nigel Farage attempted to wash his hands of Wise at the time, saying:

“When he came to Brussels in 2004, I put a code down, that I asked them all to obey by. He refused to do so. He then, when he was found out, lied to me, and for that reason I took the whip away from him.

“You know, in every party, in every company, there are bad apples, the question is how do you deal with them, and in UKIP we’ve been absolutely ruthless.”

Which raises the question of why he acted in 2009 when the fraud was first exposed in 2005. At least he was quicker in 2004, when pretty much the same thing happened with MEP Ashley Mote, who was convicted for stealing £65,000 in benefit fraud. In that case, the party dropped him a few days after the election, meaning they’d only waited three months before taking action.

Part of the reason for Farage’s slowness to action may be that he himself is not squeaky clean.

The Observer reported in 2009:

During a debate about Europe at the Foreign Press Association, Farage was asked by former Europe minister Denis MacShane what he had received in non-salary expenses and allowances since becoming an MEP in 1999.

“It is a vast sum,” Farage said. “I don’t know what the total amount is but – oh lor – it must be pushing £2 million.”

Farage may be against the EU, but he is certainly not against taking their money – must we consider him to be tainted by it as well?

    Shut up you leftie morons. You are talking out of your arse. Get your facts right before publishing statements like this. You’re just jealous and manufacturing this crap because his popularity and that of UKIP’s is increasing. Your time is up and you don’t like it.

  • Ryan Waters

    Please, this old yarn again.. this is old news.. and the only thing you can say against farage is that he spends all the ALLOWANCES he gets.. NOT expenses by the way.. on campaigning to leave the EU in its current format. He is one of the most active MEP’s in Europe and THE most active one in the UK.

    This website is quite clearly run by those allied to the NWO elitists of the Bilderberg group. This website, would having its own way see us reduced to mere slaves of the elites, slaves that are easy to herd together like sheep, slaves living in a globalists socalist nightmare under one world government.

    As the previous comments highlight, this is old “news”, which was twisted by the Bilderberg media which you are part of to try and paint Nigel and UKIP in a bad light, because the elitists are scared of the truth coming out against their plans for one world government. Perhaps youn could relay this to your master David Rockefeller and step back from lazy reporting and propaganda for the Bilderburg group.

    The people of the planet deserve to be free. Since the dawning of civilisation we have struggled against tyranny. We will resist your tyranny, we do not want your European Union or your one world government, we will not bow down and be your slaves, we will rise up and we will defeat you.

  • Sensible Man

    Farage is the only MP I know who is actually campaigning to lose his job. For that he has my admiration. His comments are sensible and pragmatic and not built on some outdated dogma. The fact is that here is no evidence that the EU and the euro in particular have brought any sustained wealth to Europe. It has all been smoke and mirrors and the costs of this are now being counted. Ask th average Spaniard, Greek, Irish or Portuguese whether they feel the EU has been a benefit.. Europe is rapidly losing its international competitiveness under a raft of legislation, expense and red tape. Just see what Shell said a couple of days ago.

    Well, labour, liberal democrat, and most conservative MEPs support the EU, despite their electorate being at least divided, or actually against our membership. These MEPs are very well paid, not just in direct salary but in generous allowances and expenses and pension rights. So, their support of the EU could be seen as being influenced by this remuneration.

    Nigel Farage takes EU money but campaigns against our membership of the EU, and even against the level of allowances MEPs receive. Do you see then, that whatever the strength or weakness of his other arguments, he isn’t being influenced by the money he receives from the EU? That in this instance at least he appears to be against personal self-interest? Do you see the pretty bloody fundamental difference between the two situations?
    You know what beggars belief? Your effing bare-faced audacity.

    “and the only thing you can say against farage is that he spends all the ALLOWANCES he gets.. NOT expenses by the way.. on campaigning to leave the EU in its current format.”

    The use of MEP allowances or expenses for party political campaigning is illegal under the laws of the EP. Just ask Nick Griffin and the BNP who are under investigation.

    Don’t be a lazy, blind worshipper of idols.

  • Sean O’Hare

    Does this article mean that Labour have a last recognised that UKIP have become a threat to them as well as to the Tories?

    The left should be very careful when throwing turds at Nigel Farage, that the wind is in their favour! They might just find that some of it sticks to the them. Especially to all those free loaders like the Kinnocks and Prescott lording it at our expense.
