British Democracy Forum - View Single Post - United Kingdom Independence party accused of diverting EU allowances

I find this both quite hilarious and very sad at the same time. Look back over posts on this forum and there are endless demands that MEP's use their allowances to fund party work in the UK. The fact that the MEP's have always refused to do this because it wasn't allowed under EU Rules has been criticised more than once as just an excuse by the MEP's.

Now allegations are being made regarding MEP's illegally funding party workers the same people who demanded MEP's do exactly that are now the first to condemn the practise.

Unfortunately people are always willing to believe bad news and to spread it far and wide and people on this forum loose no opportunity to chip away at UKIP.
