    In todays Mail Daniel Hannan MEP writes about the EU.
    He receives his monthly salary plus £3,500 per month for incidental expenses, which are tax free. He does not have to claim the money nor fill in an expense form it his given freely.
    He also states that when claiming the cost of his flight from London to Brussels he was given a wad of money, much larger than his claim. He was told the money was correct as the EU air expenses are based on kilometers travelled and not actual cost.
    In another article the Army is hind bound by EU rules, Tank commanders and crew cannot train or remain in their tank for more than nine hours, except when at war.
    Army training exercises must take into account local animal wildlife. If the Army is building a bridge and water voles are spotted they then must move to another site.
    You couldn't make it up if you tried

    The daughter of a friend of mine is a Union Rep and she goes to Brussels for Five days a month.
    They pay her £2,500 for those five days, plus first class air fares and first class hotels and other expenses in Brussels.
    That is know as a `Gravy Train` paid for by us Tax Payers.

    Because of the EU and its green directives, energy costs in the UK are 20% higher than a similar sized Chinese business. 65% higher than a similar sized Indian business and 100% higher than a similar American business.

    Excellent article HERE from the Telegraph - sums the situation up very well and poses some interesting questions about Dictator Dave.

    Hi Cappy.
    We will require a full background check, which will include a batch of tabnabs to be used as throwing material if you fail the check.
