Tom Wise is either guilty of seeking to divert funds to his own ends or is a damned fool for wasting funds that could have been used to support the anti-EU movement.
Either way there needs to be a UKIP inquiry INTO phpbb_all the events and procedures involved, and at the least firm recommendations about the management of funds made available to MEPs.
As others have said, this episode is a big turn-off from supporting UKIP for people who have gladly given time and money to the party regardless of their own limited circumstances.
The Sunday Telegraph may want to harm UKIP, but you can't fault its right to report a story like this. If the Sunday Telegraph is wrong with the story it should be forced to retract it.
