Well said.
I have argued for some time that it is difficult to explain to people that UKIP is doing it's utmost to undermine the EU when many of the UKIP leadership are directly financed by the EU. If I had a quid for every time I have heard someone ask
"Do you expect me to believe that UKIP MEP's are going to bite the hand that feeds them"?
I was once told by an old lady.
"If I told you I moved into my residential home in order to close it down would you believe me? No, I know who butters my bread".
