Not content with the wad of cash that we already hand over to the EU. I note that we have now been fined £150 million for failing to display the EU (foreign) flag on projects that have been part-funded by our friends in Brussels.
Several other schemes were also penalised for failing to use the "flag" on their letterheads.
However, I was pleased to see that our Communities Sec., Eric Pickles, has had the sense to condem these "over-bureaucratic" rules along with the UKIP leadership.
As good "Europeans" we will, of course, no doubt cough up pronto, although I do wish sometimes that we could do as the French do when "fined" and just tell them to "get lost" and totally ignore their demands.
I know that in the grand scheme of things 150mill`s not a fortune but surely it would be better spent here than sending it " abroad ".
