At a recent meeting of the EU Parliament UKIP who are notorious for their absence at meetings in Brussels turned out in full force for a meeting to vote on Members Entitlements after Brexit.
Of all the MEPs representing their constituents throughout the 28 countries that form the EU, members of UKIP attend the least number of meetings than any other party but on this occasion because it effected their own pockets, their pensions after Brexit they turned up in force. UKIP MEPs, were voted for by the UK electorate to represent their MEP regions to discuss and put forward issues which may have an impact on their lives.
Take Farage for instance, who used to be the Leader of UKIP, as an individual he has the worst attendance record at the EU Parliament, yet he will receive a pension of (GBP) £70,000 a year yes £70,000 quid a year because he was voted for by the UK electorate as an MEP.
Farage's pension is paid for by UK Tax Payers yet what has he done other than lie about the EU and famously standing in front of a poster during the EU Referendum depicting a flood of migrants and Turkish citizens making their way to the UK which he proudly still says is what swayed the public to vote leave. There was never any flood of migrants and Turkey is a long way from joining the EU.
It’s obvious a lot of people have been conned and continue to be conned by a handful of individuals who call themselves Brexiters, who follow their own interests, financial or otherwise, who have already gained and will continue to gain more than ordinary people during and after Brexit, while ordinary people lose their jobs and the poor made poorer.
