During the latest expenses furore, those attacking UKIP have had very little choice in how to attack the party. The criticism has almost exclusively been aimed at the party’s dealings with former UKIP MEPs Robert Kilroy-Silk, Ashley Mote and Tom Wise.
Far from perfect. But it is a completely different situation from the current scandal that is going on with MPs in Westminster. Perspective is always important at such times.
Party finances scandal?
Farage's £2million expences?
I would not buy a used car off Nifty Nigel.
Well I'm sure you could find a better second hand car than Nigel's 14 year old Volvo with 286,000 miles on the clock!
Don't smear Ashley Mote, his 'conviction' is dubious as politically motivated and is being appealed. He fights hard and sincerely for this country, as an independent and lands a good few blows on the EU. A sadness that we shall lose a good man as he's decided to stand down ofter June 4th.
If Ashley Mote is indeed appealing against his conviction, and the case against Tom Wise has yet to be heard, we should say so when confronted by our enemies.
I'm not speaking up for Tom but his "alleged" mistakes are mniuscule compared to the corrupt money-grabbers in our own Parliament.
I have a feeling that, perhaps, the CPS may not pursue Tom's case, AFTER the June 4th. elections !
No UKIP MPs = No UKIP MP scandals
No?
No MEPs full stop = no MEP scandals!
Anyway, all UKIP MEPs will now be publishing quarterly statements of all use of allowances
