UKIP need £2e6 - this won't be a problem for them, surely?

So, it seems that Nigel Farage has declared UKIP skint, and in need of 2 million quid. This would be the same Nigel Farage who was boasting about his £2 million "expenses". Well UKIP is also the party with MEPs convicted of fraudulent expenses*, and they've just increased their numbers - so likely this problem will find a solution soon? :-)

* yes, citation needed, I know.

"Ashley Mote was expelled from the party and later jailed for benefit fraud.

Another MEP, Tom Wise, is facing prosecution for alleged false accounting and money laundering relating to his EU expenses. He denies the charges."

What you have to ask is, was there, for political reasons, more effort made to find these particular swine with their snouts in the trough?

No

No, it won't be solved soon. You really think UKIP scum would put party above self?
