The UKIP leader is in Swansea tomorrow and will be addressing what is being billed as a 'sell-out' rally. My focus however is on what he will not be telling us.
In particular I hope that he will use his visit to clarify the position around his own expenses. Mr. Farage recently performed a major u-turn on his offer to allow an independent audit of his spending of European parliamentary allowances. He said: "I don't think the general public are that interested in whether I've strictly observed the rules" This is despite the majority of British MEPs publishing independently audited accounts of their expenses
UKIP are treating Wales and devolution as an ‘inconvenience’ and are willing to put Welsh jobs at risk. Around 160,000 jobs in Wales are reliant on UK trade within the EU’s single market. That is more than 1 in every 10 jobs in Wales. 500 firms from other member states are based in Wales, providing more than 59,000 jobs.
As far as UKIP are concerned those jobs are expendable.

I am happy to address most contributions, even the drunken ones if they are coherent, but I am not going to engage with negative sniping from those who do not have the guts to add their names or a consistent on-line identity to their comments. Such postings will not be published.
Anonymous comments with a constructive contribution to make to the discussion, even if it is critical will continue to be posted. Libellous comments or remarks I think may be libellous will not be published.
I will also not tolerate personation so please do not add comments in the name of real people unless you are that person. If you do not like these rules then start your own blog.
Oh, and if you persist in repeating yourself despite the fact I have addressed your point I may get bored and reject your comment.
The views expressed in comments are those of the poster, not me.
