Nattrass and Brookes

This blog gave many warnings regarding Denis Brookes. Now they are proven justified.

UKIP in picking to fight a thoroughly corrupt, undemocratic and subversive conspiracy such as the EU always needed to adopt methods which were whiter than white to avoid being dragged down into the same mire; Hence the dangers of sending MEPs to the EU.

The following is from yesterday morning's Open Europe briefing e-mail. Sorry timing I am afraid but best out of the way before a new leadership era beginsfor the UKIP:

"The Sunday Times reported that UKIP MEP for the West Midlands Mike Nattrass is being investigated by the EU's anti-fraud watchdog regarding his expenses. The article noted that the inquiry is into whether Denis Brookes, one of his former aides, was paid through public funds while he was working as a regional organiser for UKIP, and forms part of a wider investigation into UKIP's finances. The EU does not allow taxpayers' money to be used to pay party officials.

"Additionally, it was also reported that Nattrass was using a company of which he was a shareholding partner as the "paying agent" for all his assistants' salaries provided by the EU. MEPs must not act as their own paying agents, the role can only be performed by "third parties".
