Sadly a lot of MEPs are in cahoots with Russia and hell bent on destroying the EU.

Cahoots is a strong word. They're all ethnic nationalists who sympathize with the wave of anti-Muslim hysteria echoing through the continent.

But when push comes to shove, they'll start shooting at one another over the border happily enough.

At least for the Dutch alt-right party Forum voor Democratie there's definite proof that they get money from Russia

Henk Otten is a multi millionaire who made his mint as an apparatchik of Dutch finance capital. I'm sure you can draw lines back to a dozen different countries in the region, but these calls are coming from inside the house.

Might as well claim Jaime Diamon or David Solomon is a Russian foreign agent.
