He also had to pay back a large proportion of his expenses after being caught fiddling them How is that earning his money? Sorry but you're missing the point, Farage had no interest in the EU or its workings, he had one aim from the start to get us out from the inside, if they are paying him a pension more the fools at the EU, shows you how they waste money 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vogie Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Interestingly Ireland who are 1% of the EUs population are expected to be the 5th largest contributer into the EUs coffers.

With the distancing these days the MPs have more chance to nod off too. Not sure how expenses work during this viral period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a guess nauseus...... but will I give you a clue.....Example= 40 years ago, after bashing in a young girls head, then running away a certain Lord still gets paid..........so whats the chances of this 760, missing out on a days pay?

FYI Lord (7th Earl) Lucan is indeed assumed dead but there were reports of him being in Thailand for a time about 30 years ago. The Lucan family estate still exists and I see that Lucan's son (8th Earl) and his new son are alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What expenses? Nigel Farage among Ukip MEPs accused of misusing EU funds Nigel Farage has MEP salary docked to recoup misspent EU funds Farage claimed the EU were being vindictive. But he has never explained what a member of his staff, Christopher Adams who is also Ukip’s national nominating officer, was doing which was EU business.

However, whilst not in the chamber, many members of both houses are still working on committees etc. That is not the case with Farage. But two wrongs do not make a right.

The Lucan family estate still exists and I see that Lucan's son (8th Earl) and his new son are alive. We agree on this one. Neither the 7th Earl nor the 8th have any relevance to anything in this topic. This includes HoL attendance allowances; which neither of them receive. The 7th Earl because he's presumed dead, the 8th because the title was one of the many hereditary peerages excluded from membership under the House of Lords Act 1999.
