Shocking revelations in the Observer today that UKIP leader, Nigel Farage, has probably taken £2 million in expenses. He told this to a meeting of foreign journalists.
This is the party which has been more associated with fraud and allegations of fraud than any other. The Greens in the European Parliament, on the other hand, have led the attempts to reform the expenses system and it is down to Green pressure that the new parliament in July will have much more open and transparent systems. Yet UKIP is the party which many voting against the large parties seem to be considering voting for. Hopefully, they will now reconsider their decision.
Farage has long been an ego on parade and needs to be brought down to earth with a bang. And this is the man who has called for a clean up in EU expenses!
