Nigel Farage: I Can Spend My EU Allowances As I See Fit

[@anthonycipolla4224]

...Sky New's is going to have to do better than that to own Farage. Embarrassing attempt.

[@DmcR289]

Sadly they never stop trying

[@millsathn]

Christ. I'd be embarrassed to work for Sky News

[@giantbully1]

sly news

[@unboxingtheboxx]

This man will be remembered in the hole history. As the man who destroyed The UK.

[@calvinlimgo]

I'd be embarrassed of your stupidity

[@louloubrow2171]

​@@unboxingtheboxxleave it if destroyed stop talking start walking 🚶‍♂️

[@hoppkins]

Sky news should be embarassed

[@danthomas8428]

They're owned by *Rupert Murdoch*, the same man who owns The Times. He's also the owner of the biased FOX News in the States.

[@calvinlimgo]

I'd be embarrassed of your stupidity

[@EtherasFox]

This interviewer doesn't know when he's been beaten. Just keeps asking the same question over and over again. Very unprofessional.

[@alexanderlogue1988]

CAN'T BARRAGE THE FARAGE!

[@Wiitoo]

Thanks to Dermont I will not be watching Sky ever again - disgusting

[@calvinlimgo]

Sheep

[@11FruitCake11]

I wonder what sort of electricity bill the Sky News HQ has per square foot?

[@Bullfrog377]

Disgraceful bias. An allowance is an allowance - end of.

[@richardbuxton3546]

It's an allowance - how it's spent does not have to be justified - he can spend it on beer and tobacco if he chooses. Dirty magazines, fish & chips, donner kebabs, fairground rides, and even duck houses - all these and more are fair game for his allowances. Few among us would return any unspent allowance - Farage is no different in this respect than any other MEP or Commissioner. Rather than seeking after the truth the interviewer has an agenda to follow and he does so very badly - he seeks only to shame and embarrass Farage and that's shabby journalism. It's not Farage that's corrupt it's the whole EU Commission.

[@didierlemoine6771]

definitly no !

[@bmarkyt132]

Nigel for PM!

[@calvinlimgo]

Good luck to the UK then

[@MegaMixking]

This Dermot fella is a freak. He should be ashamed of himself.

[@liberallunatic]

why dont they ever question the others ? clegg and cameron? this is just disgusting - so much hate against farage - people should give him their vote just for this

[@nooganator]

I will be, ukip has my vote

[@sarahlewis6692]

Exactly - in fact Clegg is in the news elsehwere today for about the role of one of his staff who is paid £110k, but he won't get a grilling like Nigel Farage!

[@MrSephihroth]

Hehe, they are just shaking their pants my friend. It's truely disgusting how they try to character attack him as a last resort since they can't debate his views or ideas. - And as long as they dont let him talk about that, the less people get's the message. Its a divertion/attention control job. - And should be possible to see on all channels who has news and are bought and owned by the same overlords. The Journalists in England has stooped to the same lows as in America, and can not be considered news anymore. Fuck TV, and seriously, welcome to the net, I would recommend to keep watching farage from here, and if you want some American, go watch TyT.

[@danthomas8428]

***** What?

[@timwhale9434]

N Farage loves a good fight, and it actually helps him in his honourable quest!

[@rwwilhelm8033]

Why is that interviewer so arrogant?

[@garybower8729]

because he is a dickhead, always has been,

[@calvinlimgo]

He's not, he's trying to catch a liar

[@michaelmorgan9289]

Because he works for Murdoch at Sky News.

[@chrismason12]

This interview along with the one with Kay Burley are farcical. I am not a supporter of UKIP but interviews like this are pushing me further and further to ticking their box come elections. Absolutely ridiculous.

[@gunho98]

Nigel came out fighting once again. This smear campaign is shocking.

[@martinhill9261]

Heavyweights like Nigel shouldn't be allowed to fight lightweights.

[@inqognitoswede5868]

what a disgrace this so called interviewer is.

[@tonyhansard7152]

Tell em nige

[@bluewrenreilly129]

Did Nigel Farage have to submit himself to this nasty awful interrogation? It is appalling. I feel so sorry for him.

[@marklanahan7289]

Sky is finished when we leave. They all are.

[@johnhoughton7468]

He is trying to leave the EU. He opposes the financial management of the EU. Hardly someone looking to make money.

[@bobwallacejnr6852]

The mugs don't realise all this makes Nigel stronger. Sky is an embarrassment.

[@WilliamsDinis]

Absolutely disgusting.

[@Wh47n0w1517]

Maybe Nigel Farage had to spend some of the money to stop his mobile phones from being hacked..!!!

[@michaelhunt4445]

Oh my God, Imagine if his data was hacked, the media would twist it all to suit their agendas. Lets see what Mrs May and Jeremy Corbyns spend their allowances.

[@robinrobin7466]

Please do not vote ever again if we don't get a Brexit. These MPs do as they wish once elected. The whole Referendum was a complete waste of time if it was always going to be the MPs that had the final decision. They should merely ratify what the public voted for. It was the biggest ever vote in the history of the UK. If that is not a mandate, what is?

[@davedogge2280]

A national hero.

[@ukindirestraits7900]

Does anyone know what the word Backfired means? "Come back to the originator of an action with an undesired effect" LMAO

[@chrisl7499]

British version of Fox News! Fair and balanced? Bollocks...

[@richardwilliams1881]

Why not ask junker what his expenses are instead

[@tomaszielinsky1999]

EU beaurocracy spends much more for only paper-like projects. Nigel shows how EU terrible is by dividing our money for nonsensical euroclerks, politics and other posts.

[@otterplays8156]

Can Sky post the details of the yearly Electricity bill for the newsroom and all those computers, I'm sure as unbiased media they would be happy to post it.

[@SoulSocietyMk2]

I honestly wonder how Sky news could look at this and think "yes, this displays us in the best light, we are displayed as true professionals" and upload this

[@GL-jo4bk]

Derdick another flash harry presenter trying to look tough when Nigel has already answered. Does anyone know how much travel costs? Or all the other costs associated with running a party etc? Every day people complain about running costs of a family/work never being enough and this fool moaning about 3k electric for an office. I wonder how much electric it costs to run that studio?

[@richarddriveways8874]

Nigel your the best ❤️😂

[@sossyization]

nigel should have told him where to go like mr farage said he can spends allowances as he sees fit .other poletions .never tell how they spend there allowances .so why should he

[@markroberts1665]

This is why I don't watch sky news ffs

[@timwhale9434]

The interviewer did his job, and quite well. The issue is using tax payers' money either in a legitimate way or otherwise. NF, had to listen to each question carefully and he answered them well. The angle taken by NF is the difference between the UK and EU system. One works by expense claims and the other by given allowances. The fact that with expense claims it is more transparent compared to the given allowance system is key to the reporter's point and he brings this point out. Perhaps if HF he had made the difference between claims and allowances clearer then the reporter would have had a bigger problem making viable questions. The pivotal point is when NF tells the reporter he wants to be sacked, along with the UK's other MEPs, via a referendum of EU membership. Brilliant! Miller was "sacked" after a long struggle involving DC, whereas NF wants to be sacked! Brilliant!!! Tax payers' money is wasted on an unimaginable scale in the EU. It is an issue that is overlooked by national (across EU) governments, who are putting the squeeze on its citizens respectively. If we do not like this waste we should show this by voting for people who want it ended! Let's not be prejudiced against individuals now, let's get the problem sorted first!?

[@kevinnoscoe6284]

There’s your Brexit leader

[@dragonclubracing8669]

Farage- "we use £3000 electric a year" Sky news-" but the average household only uses £1000 a year"? The average household people are out of the house 8 hours a day and are not multitasking like an office full of people, this guy is wet as water 😂

[@acharich]

😅💣

[@lippyoldbonz1964]

Farage for PM , the next Trump of the UK , and DO WE NEED HIM ! 200/1 at the bookies won’t b that price soon 😉

[@didierlemoine6771]

Trump hv lost the last election so !

[@harbinger686]

SkyNews is pure cringe, almost on par with the BBC.

[@chrissmart5431]

what part of he hasn't claimed any money does Dermot not understand . Every MEP gets an allowance which is totally different to claiming expences . This is why nobody believes that the main stream media is not impartial

[@ToonandBBfan]

Vote UKIP

[@giraffe640]

ToonandBBfan no Thanks, too chav

[@James333-n2q]

And we are supposed to trust mainstream media..what an absolute joke.

[@johnbueybuey6229]

Why dont they ask the people that are really "stealing" from the taxpayers..

[@Heart2HeartBooks]

Nigel is an honorable man!

[@johnstaley7640]

As usual Nigel shut the reporter down with his complete honesty and forthright Answers top man

[@pearlyking5931]

Jesus! These sly presenters are thick!

[@johnsavva4320]

The awful Dermot Murnaghan making a mountain out of a molehill.

[@SGProductions87]

When McDermott asks what he's spending 3 grand on, Farage should have said we're growing copious amounts of ganja, just to see if the Old Bill will come round to check for unloicensed horticulture. Pure trolling.

[@acharich]

💀💀💀

[@personifiedape5347]

He’s already said it’s a fixed allowance. Why were Sky not complaining to every other MEP. what a joke interview.

[@northernknuckle-dragger7025]

Fake news from slynews before it was cool

[@rcf1878]

lord farage the winner Amen

[@jamespettigrew7026]

The Sky News interviewer is really obnoxious.

[@jasongoodacre]

How can this be real news?? Shame on Sky attacking an honest guy like Nigel Farage. I wonder how many paid champagne dinners Dermot Murnaghan has been to. I'd love to see his tax return!!

[@michaelhunt4445]

Everything is Tax Payers cash. BBC gets the licence fee to pay its staff. Sky gets the rent from its suscribers, Tesco gets its money from Taxpayers. (Wages) All MPs get their pay from Tax Payers. Lets have a look (published) of ALL money the Government gets.

[@scoobydodo793]

I love Farage, this guy is a legend!

[@tigerbricks]

Why does the times not get there facts right

[@cw7546]

Shocking

[@stephanosuk78]

The EU came up with a fixed monthly amount that everyone gets, Westminster allowed far more but it required proof. How is that difficult???

[@richardmay3248]

[@XstaticState69]

Time for the people of Great Britain to march and make our feelings known.

[@Heart2HeartBooks]

630 thousand pounds! 3500 times 12 is 42000 lbs a year times 15 years is 630 thousand where do they get 2 million pounds?

[@MarjorieMay-kc6ls]

What an ignorant b.... this Sky Presenter is. I wonder if Sky Presenters get money from the EU the same as the BBC do for supporting the EU witch is our money in the fist place.

[@djgamesization]

Dermot lost his cool a bit there -- he looks a bit sweaty. Maybe he needs a touch-up from the make-up lady...

[@acharich]

💀💀💀

[@ingerlander]

Why, when I see and hear a Sky News interviewer do I come away knowing more about their opinion than that of the interviewed.

[@davidbaker8957]

Nigel 1 sky news berk 0...

[@djgamesization]

Demrot always seems so intelligent when he's reading from the cue cards on "Egg Heads"...

[@debclato5984]

The best politicians give their tax payer money to charity! They serve the country, set an example, and don’t claim anything! (We obviously, haven’t got the best moral leaders- because no politician has done this) Hope we can elect some saints who will happily live on 200 pound a week!

[@nathanstempleton7754]

Its true we wish we could earn this amount but Nigel earnt his money unlike LibLabCon who have never DONE A DAYS WORK.

[@snofootball5257]

It’s crazy how he answers saying he gets 3000 odd and the interviewer says so we’re does the other 12k go sky news are like the cnn of the uk

[@FactualCounterpoints]

Farage destroyed him. Sky Australia is much better!

[@davidbrock4104]

Should've told the guy to come & take a tour

[@neverinlife2]

Typical sky news im going to cancel my full subscription hope there reading this LONG LIVE NIGEL

[@vsls85]

There was a Nigel Farage back in the 18th century. They called him Fletcher Christian.

[@aon10003]

It would be an OK answer if hes never critisized EU spending.

[@stalbanstech7396]

Sky should do their homework before an interview, obviously tutored by Diane Abbot.

[@tomrawley6549]

keep going sky news , with every attempt to try and blacken nigels name , his brand just gets stronger and stronger

[@Pomarium]

Time sky was shut down.

[@petewalker9965]

thats why i stopped watching TV

[@harryacam]

Just as bad as the BBC

[@angiegriffiths8873]

All the more reasons to get out,

[@MichaelSmith-zh8is]

I though, only our german media is going rampage on idiocracy, but Britain is not far behind ! What a joke interview !

[@ZXspectrum..]

Sky need to sort themselves out

[@MontChevalier]

I like UKIP, but their policies don't necessarily seem well thought out. Farage wants people to stop going to University. I don't know...he couldn't just abolish or at least diminish the amount of money it costs to go to UK universities? Also, is he an economist? Cause he never seems to say much economy-wise. If he's going to have an independent England, wouldn't it make more sense to have an England that's independently economically well-off?

[@kennyp172172]

Is his campaign office rent free?

[@garrington120]

Sky Noise is NO match for Nigel Farage

[@MisterstereoOso]

What a disgraceful interviewer, fast forward to today ( 26/05/2019) European election results tonight, Nigel’s Brexit party gonna wipe the floor with the lot of them....
