Mr. Nigel Farage could have told us that, Joe.
ol’ “Nige” didn’t let his detestation of the EU get in the way of him lining his pockets in Brussels for what, the best part of twenty years
And that sums the Brexit chancers up best, Joe.
Yer Farages, Rees Moggs, Johnsons, Francois, Banks, that mouthy Aussie who owns Weatherspoons......they are all totally minted and insulated from any economic downturn Brexit might bring,
At that gammonfest at Westminster last week, Ian Paisley jnr. M.P. was one of the speakers, railing against EU curruption among other things.
Yet this fellow was suspended from the House of Commons for, I think, three months in the middle of last year for accepting luxury holidays and other inducements in exchange for lobbying on behalf of some foreign ruler in SE Asia or the Middle East.
We don’t need to look to the European Parliament for overpaid demagogues milking a bloated cash cow....we are tolerating it right here in England.
It is an extraordinary con that these fellows have pulled on the poorer among us to vote against their own best interests.
That said the EU parliament is indeed a gravy train and these buggers need their wages cut and expenses slashed....but I would say the same about the HOC and the HOL.
BTW....that Toby fellow you mentioned on Politics Live.
Was he a baldy chap, wearing glasses and an open neck shirt, spoke like a Cockney wide boy and all but pleaded wuth the Brexit Party to approach him to run?
Said if they did he would give all his EU wages to charity (yeah, right

)?
He said it was 12% tax, not 6%.
Oh....and he was totally owned by the woman sat to his right
