I have some insurance that pays out out if I lose my job, to keep me afloat while I find something else. But if I act so as to make myself unemployed/unemployable, guess how much I get. https://t.co/gmnqnI0vsB

We send Β£150,000 to the EU to give to Nigel Farage because he's lost his job as a bloody obvious consequence of his own political goals … why not spend it on the NHS instead? https://t.co/MSX0tfPGuX

Nigel Farage is to receive a payment of Β£150,000 as compensation for "losing" his job as an MEP. I guess he was telling the truth when he said Brexit was nothing to be worried about https://t.co/qMcvjzSSDH

LBC’s James O’Brien stepped in with a very reasonable point.
Very easy to get cross about this. But, as with things like human rights legislation & even unemployment benefits, a functioning system that helps the deserving has to accommodate the tiny percentage of vile miscreants who abuse it. Itβs an uncomfortable requirement of democracy. https://t.co/WWtW8gOafN
