Yes, that is plausible.

Think about this. The European Union uses a fortune of our money to fund a pro-Europe message, which is somehow perfectly OK - and yet the second some of that money is used to fund a eurosceptic viewpoint...

I'm sick of that double standard. If our money is going to be used to fund a pro-Europe vision, it had better also be used to fund an anti-Europe vision. That basically brings up the question if it was legitimate as he was not using it for personal expenses, but regardless, Fragony's point is also a good one.
