Nigel Farage MEP - A Creature of the EU?

We have re-visited the Nigel Farage Home Page. This time we went to 'Speeches' which page is linked from here .

Listed are eight 'so-called' speeches, all without exception being contributions to debates in the EU Parliament. Is this the record of a person actively working towards Britain's EU withdrawal? Or one already enmeshed in the system and pointlessly working his passage at the expense of us all?

The 'In Print' page leads off with an interview for 'Sovereignty' Magazine, a strange choice indeed and hard to pin down as to likely date. There then follows an item which shows that UKIP's Leading Light makes the odd foray to address ordinary British voters, but then we get a a neither well put nor particularly interesting letter to the 'Slough Express' in which we are informed each MEP costs the taxpayer one million to three million pounds a year! Value for money perhaps only in ego? More follows but the point, I think, is already well made!

A better illustration of how far UKIP has travelled from its founding objectives would be hard to find.
