Re: MEPs milking the system

wonder why it took them so long to find this out ???? I have no faith in any politician as far as I am concerned they are just there to fill their own pockets, I realise there maybe some who are there to do a job but they are in the minority ( personal opinion )

Re: MEPs milking the system

They have been doing it for years i hardly find it appropriate to call this news as i think most people have known about this for years.

The confidential audit is reported to have found that MEPs had not accounted properly for the £100m a year allocated to staff costs.

That's true but there have been dodgy MP's for years and each time a new one appears it's news in its own right. If reports like this aren't mentioned in the news we have no hope of changing anything do we. Hopefully this latest audit report on MEPs won't be allowed to disappear and something will be done. I won't be holding my breath though and they say ignorance is bliss.......
