"Your greed and dishonesty were matched only by your hypocrisy, because
while this was going on you carried out a high-profile campaign
condemning corruption and the improper use of public money in the very
institution from which you were leeching it."
Justice Stuart-Smith on Ashley Mote, the former MEP starting a five-year prison sentence for defrauding the EU of nearly £500,000.
Though Mote was elected on a UKIP list, he sat as an independent. Unsurprisingly, Nigel Farage has been quick to point out this technicality, and seems relieved that this is one bullet, at least, that his beleaguered party appears to have dodged.
