Ex-Ukip MEP guilty of expenses fraud This seems like an apt time to return to Ukip’s mounting woes - former Ukip MEP Ashley Mote has been found guilty of fraudulently claiming almost £500,000 in European Parliament expenses. Mote, 79, was convicted at Southwark Crown Court of 12 fraud-related offences and of using the gains to fund his court battles in the UK. Mote, of Binsted, Hampshire, was found guilty of four counts of obtaining a money transfer by deception, three of false accounting, two of fraud, and one each of acquiring criminal property, concealing criminal property and theft. The offences took place between November 2004 and July 2010. The jury took just an hour and 42 minutes to return the verdict He was thrown out of UKIP in 2004 - eleven years ago.

welshbairn 18,965 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 Who said the Germans don't have a sense of humour? German MEP Manfred Weber told the European Parliament: “I would like to welcome Mr Farage - the big election loser.” “He said he would stand down, he would resign, he wouldn’t continue in that post,” Mr Weber jeered. “You didn’t keep your electoral promise Mr Farage! You’ve broken a very important promise.” MEPs laughed The banter! http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/nigel-farage-mocked-eu-return-5731115 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nigel Farage has sent a letter to Nigel Farage, saying ‘I resign’ and Nigel Farage has responded to Nigel Farage saying ‘I refuse’. That’s the way how it works there.

Pete's Frontier 56 Report post Posted June 19, 2015 30,000 across the whole EU, is that all you soft heads can muster to defend 500,000 inwards net a year into this small island? The island you want to break up, turning Scotland into an impoverished EU satellite run by SNP debt until it collapses like Greece. Aberdeen Bud sinks to a new low with his illiterate outburst, such misplaced anger in these militant leftists. I suppose when you have no stake in society, no wealth, property, children, you're happy to let those who do see it put in jeopardy. The English are not as dumb as people like Aberdeen Bud, thankfully. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AberdeenBud 1,731 Report post Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) It's (at least) 30k claiming unemployment benefit, you thick c**t. Have you got any evidence for that 500k net figure apart from a made up anecdote? Even if it was true, they'd all be welcome as they contribute greatly to the economy and we badly need them.

Eddie Hitler 76 Report post Posted June 19, 2015 Not that I agree that voting to stay 'IN' the EU is 'dumb' (haven't 100% made my mind up) but I am pretty sure there is a poll being talked about today (Ipsos Mori, I think) that suggests that upwards of 60% across the whole isles are currently planning to vote to remain in the EU. So, clearly some English people must be 'dumb' if that's the criteria. As for impoverishment, almost every state in Europe is swimming around in debt, particularly the UK. Would an independent Scotland be punished for being in debt by the 'markets' faster than the UK is? Possibly, but that has nothing to do with realism or any of those kind of arguments and everything to do with the fiddle being in if you're deemed to be the 'right sort of place' to escape censure for running a massive deficit. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~~~ 4,915 Report post Posted June 19, 2015 Im looking forward to the argument if the UK opted out of the EU we can still trade with them, just so someone can point out we'd been told an independent Scotland wouldn't have been allowed to do the same because we apparently wouldn't have been in the EU 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
