Last Sunday the News of the World ran a story focusing on UKIP’s answer to Boris Johnson - Tom Wise MEP.
Of course, the problem that UKIP has with this comparison is that unlike Boris, Tom Wise is a genuine buffoon, with a penchant for greed that would make any normal ‘Porker’ look positively genteel!
What an easy target he must have been though for the under cover reporter from the ‘News of the World’, for truly, Tom is as dim as he is greedy! Politically speaking the man shouldn’t be allowed out on his own. Let’s not forget though, that the only reason that dross such as UKIP’s Tom Wise are able to get to the feeding trough in the first place is due to the ubiquitous ‘party list system’. Like all things related to the EU, it is utterly undemocratic.
Even Wise’s sad attempts to wriggle out of the trap that he had fallen into are risible. In a response given to his regional newspaper, the Norwich Evening News, it is stated, ‘ A Euro MP caught in an undercover sting where he claimed he makes thousands of pounds from British taxpayers in allowances and travel claims today said he was glad the practice had been rumbled.’
If that was the case, you have to wonder, why did he not tell his constituents just how much he was raking in, at their expense, whilst doing next to nothing to deserve it?
You can read the full exposé on the despicable Mr Wise in the link below. Though this quote sums up the story in the proverbial nutshell, ‘Mr Wise said one of his favourite things about his job was “the opportunity to make shed loads of money”.
Remember though, as odious as Mr Wise might be, he is but one of the Hogs feeding at the trough - at your expense - for there are 75 other men and women, supposedly representing the UK as MEP’s that are also making a fat living from the EU, via the public purse!
Are they all as greedy as Tom Wise, who can say, for most of them have enough of the ‘little grey cells’ (as the fictional Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot liked to describe the ability to think) not to boast about it to reporters!
But of one thing we can be certain. Tom Wise is far from alone in these money grabbing activities, for the same News of the World article also cites one of the darlings of the so called ‘eurosceptic movement’, Moustachioed top Tory, Roger Helmer as, “another MEP filling his boots”. Which just goes to show that even the brighter MEP’s can be put off of their guard by a pretty young girl.
Helmer has set himself up as a champion for openness and transparency in Brussels: “But in an unguarded moment he bragged to our reporter of his plans to exploit the crazy expenses system for thousands more…”
Why not ask your MEP about how much they make each month by maximising their expenses??
Better still why not give your support to the BNP and help us stop this nauseating gravy train once and for all!
