Don't they receive funding from Russia?

Probably. One would think Russia had more important things to spend its money on than paranoia.

God help anyone who cares about defence or foreign policy (except Europe) in this election

At least the Greens are honest about them wanting to abolish the military. Everyone else (other than UKIP) are saying it's because of austerity.

No, foreign donations are largely banned. You can see big donors here:

UKIP's major donors:

I imagine one of the larger sources of funding is actually European Parliament money as UKIP always claim the maximum allowable

Though Farage no doubt earns a fair bit on Russia Today.

I don't see why you need a conspiracy to explain an anti-European populist right party finding something attractive about an anti-European populist right leader

Yeah lots of post offices are in shops, especially in the countryside.
