The leader of the UK Independence Party has become highly dependent on public money to finance his independence. He claims to have syphoned off £2 million in expenses from the European Parliament. It strikes me that this fellow has little incentive to derail his magnificent and munificent gravy train, supposedly his reason for taking a seat in an establishment he claims to despise. The expression "full of shit" seems to fit this top rank sponger.
Oh, and he thinks Members of the UK Parliament have ripped off taxpayers.
The antics of other UKIP MEPs are touched on in the linked article -
" ... one of the dozen [MEPs], Ashley Mote, was expelled from the party - and later jailed - for benefit fraud. Another, Tom Wise, is now facing prosecution for alleged false accounting and money laundering relating to his EU expenses. He denies the charges. Television presenter Robert Kilroy-Silk, who won the East Midlands for Ukip, later left to form another eurosceptic outfit, Veritas."

Apparently more voters are expressing their intention of backing UKIP at the Euro-elections in protest at the corruption of the main parties.
You have to laugh, really, you do.
