The European Parliament's advisory committee will look at whether Mr Farage broke rules by accepting funding from Leave campaigner Arron Banks.

Elections coming next week....Farage (and like minded allies) looking strong....so Junker The Drunker announces an investigation.I guess that's what we in the US would call an "October Surprise".

I'm just puzzled that the amount wasn't £2,450,000 and the donor wasn't some Ugandan war criminal.

Odd that this story come out 2 days before EU elections. Don’t you think BF? Looks like a last minute election trick. Don’t you think BF?
No matter the Brexit Party will storm to victory Thursday. Don’t you think BF?

Same thing with Austria, a 2 year old video popped up making it appear that the Austrian PM was corrupt

Timed just to stop the new Brexit Party from winning. It probably won’t work.

Most Tories and Labourites are going down. The Tories who survive will mostly be Leaves and not Remains.

I will get back to you after the EU election results are made public.
It depends on the margin of the Brexit Party victory.
So, I will answer that question Sunday or Monday.

Farage is a con-man "Nigel Farage said he did not declare the £450,000 sum to the European Parliament because he was about to leave politics and had been seeking a new life in the US." - oh, so he took the half-million while still an MEP. Why didn't he resign before that??
