I don't think you understand Nigel Farage "In 2003 documentary "The Real Face of the European Union", former Ukip leader Nigel Farage attacked the bloc for its "fraudulent system", its corruption and MEPs' travel expenses. Mr Farage said: "This place is thick with institutional corruption. "You can now buy a cheap airline ticket to come to Strasbourg for about £45 return. "When you get here, you are reimbursed nearly £800 for the cost of that flight. "Now, this has been going on for the last 20 years and, of course, what has happened that MEPs haven’t been talking about it? "The system is fraudulent. It is rotten to the core." In the same documentary, political activist Norris McWhirter also hit out at the EU, claiming that "accounts haven't been signed off for the last eight years". In September 2018, an EU court rejected calls for greater transparency about MEPs’ expenses and upheld the decision that politicians are not required to reveal how they spend public money.
