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.

Maniac, Fragony, Furunculus - are you lot serious?

Politicians can steal your money? You don't mind? You actually applaude this corruption when 'your side' does it?

No wonder Nigel Farage can get away with lambasting the corruption of other politicians while simultanously boasting about his own enormous haul.

Why don't you give Nigel the number of your bank account? That he may just help himself, seeing as you don't mind his theft.

You misunderstand me. I am saying that one group is essentially stealing my money and using it for their own gain, and though this does not excuse Farage, it shows the blatant hypocrisy and double standards in the European Union.
