EU Accounts

As Times report today in an article by someone who really knows about this subject, Marta Andreassen,

"Here we go again. Today, for the 14th year in a row, the European Court of Auditors will unveil their report, telling us that they refuse to clear the EU accounts. What's worse, no one will really seem to care. We are told that the accounts won't be cleared until 2020 - if then.

Having worked inside the Brussels nomenklatura and having being sacked for my insistence that financial controls have to be strengthened, I am not surprised to find that nothing has changed other than the arguments deployed to defend this state of affairs. What the auditors have been saying for years is that most of the payments made by the Commission from its £70 billion-a- year budget cannot be deemed legal or regular. That is, that they cannot confirm those payments have been made to the correct person for the correct purpose and for the correct amount. It stretches credulity to insist, as the Europhiles do, that this does not mean that there is fraud. "

Unsurprisingly I can find nothing about this ongoing scandal on the BBC website and I doubt that David Cameron will raise the matter at PMQs. The UK, along with the other EU members, is being royally ripped-off by EU fraud and nobody seems to care. In fact some people do care but they end up under investigation by the EU or fired; read up on Marta Andreassen and Hans-Martin Tillack and worry about our democratic future.
