So Farage got paid as an MEP and didn't turn up/vote as often as many of the Euro-leeches. What a heinous crime*.
It says a great deal about the EU that he was able to so successfully rock their gravy boat by doing so little.
* a good many of our peers do exactly the same thing in the House of Lords for decades with no intention of biting the hand that feeds them and we all know how rife the abuse of expenses is in Eurolalaland.

MEPs can claim £120,000 a year in expenses without providing “real proof" of how the money is spent, because EU officials don't want to saddle them with an "administrative burden" which would hamper their freedom, a court heard.
EU expenses chief Frank Antoine-Poirel said that only on “very limited occasions” would MEPs be asked for “real proof” of where MEPs allowances ended up.
