Farage's point was always that the MEPs received stupid amounts of money for doing very little, and the publicly stated strategy was that they'd get as many MEPs as possible and use this money from the EU to campaign against the EU (what a beautiful irony!).  There's therefore nothing to worry about in the fact that they claimed lots of money - this is exactly what the UKIP MEPs were elected to do, by the public with their approval of this tactic.

The big differences between UKIP MEPs and other MEPs are that anyone's actually heard of them and that they've actually achieved what they promised to do.  The UK has 73 MEPs, all of which get a vast salary plus expenses.  The good news is that we won't be paying any more money for them to stick their snouts into in a couple of years' time.

If you want to flag up expenses-swigging MEPs then the chapagne-socialist Kinnock family (as in Neil, the ex-labour leader) are the place to look...
