I don’t even think Otto is OTT in saying this. Farage consistently works against British interests, whether Brexit, Russia and praising Putin (including his mate being bribed by them) or now conspiring with a proto-fascist foreign moron to destroy a flawed yet still vital national institution

When ever there is any major story in the news with any political impact ask a single two parted question:
Who is telling me this, and why does it matter to them?
The BBC story is from a particular group and serves them well.

Odds are this aggressively did not happen. But it would of course be just as unconstitutional to spend money donated to the government without a duly enacted appropriation as it is to spend tax money that way.
Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."
