The post you are reporting:
As you say Howard " How many companies would get away with that "? I think we all know the answer! The Conservative David Davis said on this matter " Is there or isn`t there a double-entry accounting system? Because if there isn`t, then it is unlike any other accounting system in the world that anyone respects "
It`s common knowledge that at least 10% of the EU`s massive budget of billions disappears in fraud and mismanagement EVERY YEAR.
When Paul van Buitenen, the then EU-appointed auditor, proved that billions of euros had been "misappropriated" by members of the EU elite the EU swung into action and poor old Van Buitenen was subsequently suspended without pay by the EU Commission, the same body subject to his corruption investigations! Fortunately, he was later vindicated and Jacques Santer`s entire EU Commission was forced to resign. They don`t like to be reminded of that one!
However, fraud and corruption has of course continued under different guises. More recently it was the turn of the EU`s Chief Accountant ( and now UKIP MEP ) Marta Andreasen who suffered Gestapo like treatment because she had the temerity to declare that the EU`s budget was simply " out of control " and " massively open to fraud ". She complained that figures could be altered " without leaving any trace ". For her outspoken honesty she received the full EU "treatment" and was subsequently sacked after making her life a misery. Neil Kinnock oversaw the treatment dished out to this latest "whistleblower" as a warning to future trouble makers.
And so it goes on, and yet not so long ago Dave Cameron told his MP`s etc.,
"Don`t keep banging on about Europe". Well, sorry Dave, but all the time we`re being ripped off left, right and centre by our "friends" in the EU then I think it`s their public duty to keep on about it.
As a final note, I suppose we shouldn`t really be surprised at such chicanery baring in mind some of the main political leaders have a dubious past history that includes well publicised convictions for corruption.
Nice work if you can get it!
