    Farage lobbies for 'remarkable' e-cigarettes in video after donation from maker

    Farage lobbies for 'remarkable' e-cigarettes in video after donation from maker - Telegraph

    Nigel Farage appeared in a video urging the European Parliament not to legislate on e-cigarettes after his party received over £30,000 in donations from a British manufacturer of the product.

    Ukip accepted a donation of £25,000 Pillbox 38, the Blackburn company behind electronic cigarette brand Totally Wicked last May. The party then accepted a further donation of £11,000 from Jason Cropper the founder of the group in July, the electoral commission register shows.
    I've always thought that Farage was Totally Wicked!
    <Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!

    I have always known that Farage was a sellout, I am just little surprised that he is so cheap!
    If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.

          Hardly, I'm an equal opportunities type of voter: I despise them all equally. Almost as much as I despise tribalism.

            fyi: so do I.

              This is disgusting.

              How can someone so bad at negotiating that he only got £30k out of them be trusted to represent Britain when billions are at stake. Shocking.

                He was rightly responding to an EU attempt to interfere in something that should be none of their damn business and they gave UKIP the donation because they were seen as the party resisting these measures.

                Apart from the tiny scale of this influence, not a damn bit different to UNITE et al funding Labour because they resist further controls on strikes or the banks bankrolling Tories because they oppose more regulations and levies. 77% of Labour party donations are from unions. 50% of Tory donations come from city institutions.

                  I am nobody's sidekick, never was and never will be. I despise Farage in my own right for a very good reason.

                  And by the way - I disagree with most of PGs comments disparaging UKiP voters en masse, and I made myself clear on that. Calling UKiP electorate 'white trash' and whats not is just as low as racist rants about 'Romanians and Bulgarians'.
