Hi,
I note with interest that Nikki Sinclairwe has brought her accounts up to date once more with an audit certificate and the transparency of publication on the internet.
I am pleased to note she has honoured her undertaking to be and remain fully transparent as she acquits her duties campaigning to Leave-The-EU on a high profile whilst doing much work in her constituency on local issues, particularly those withan EU angle to them.
Without a doubt Nikki Sinclaire has done far more for the
EUroSceptic cause in her 2 years as an Indepencent MEP than has been done by UKIP
MEPs and furthermore unlike UKIP MEPs her accounts have always been transparent and published.
For all UKIP's promises regarding transparency and undertakings not to fund family we note their accounts are all too similar to the Dead Sea Scrolls - what little is published is unintelligible and we all know Batten, Bloom and Farage employ members of their families - Just as we know the liar and fraud David Bannerman of the Tory party employs a UKIP Regional Organiser and at least one other UKIP staff member!
Just as Stuart Gulleford of UKIP has employed his Mother and his son has an employed position with the odious NFU rep Stuart Agnew, shich is funded by virtue of UKIP!
UKIP MEPs have made it very clear they do not honour their promises!
To hear Gerard Batten's employee Lawrence Webb formerly Regional Organiser castigating Boris Johnson and Red Ken for not honouring promises so as to try to be noticed in the EU's London Regional Assembly posturings is clearly the hight of hypocracy but who would expect honesty, integrity or ethics from a team with a slime like the liar and cheat Mick McGough on it!
I look forward to UKIP cleaning up its act and publishing accounts one day but in the meantime here are those of Nikki Sinclaire:
WEST MIDLANDS MEP SIGNS OFF ACCOUNTS - ONCE AGAIN!
Issue Date: 1st February 2012
West Midlands MEP Nikki Sinclaire has this week had her accounts successfully audited for the third year.
This is embarrassing for the Parliament she sits in, as the European Union has failed to get their accounts audited for 17 years.
The Independent MEP made her promise at the time when she took her role that she would be completely transparent when it came to her finances, and she proved this when she was the first MEP to get their accounts scrutinised by auditors. Nikki has also encouraged other MEPs to get their finances to be scrutinised in such a way.
Nikki said, “In times of financial austerity, it is important that the electorate know where their money is spent. Transparency is my number one aim. With the European Union being unable to audit its accounts for the past 17 years, it is no wonder that the majority of this country questions our membership”.
In fact for the year (1st January – 31st December 2011), Nikki subsidised her general expenditure to the tune of £41927.47, which has helped fund her work in the West Midlands region.
Nikki’s General expenditure allowance (as specified in Article 28 of the EU regulations)
Office management and running costs in particular heating and running costs (heating, lighting, insurance and cleaning) | £23,152.73 |

The cost of office supplies and stationery | £3196.77 |

The expenses involved in equipping Members with communications equipment and maintaining that equipment, for example the purchase or rental of a telephone, a fax machine, a computer, a modem or communications card, a printer, other IT equipment, computer peripherals and software packages: | £3,318.42 |
The cost of a subscription to the Internet and to databases: | £545.15 |
Representation activities: | £22,176.86 |
Hotel bills and other related expenses incurred in travelling in a Member’s Member State of election: | £3,887.07 |

· Total General Expenditure Allowance received from
· the EU: £45,050.40
· This payment is received by every UK MEP from the EU regardless of their expenditure for this period.
It is not the first time that Ms. Sinclaire has supplemented her general expenditure to fund her work in the West Midlands, with a contribution in 2009 and 2010 of £10,453.00 and £26,512.00 respectively.
