Originally posted by Liability View PostAgree - my point is that alot of the media headlines we saw about expenses in the previous year were due to FIA's. Remeber the Tony Blair and G Brown expenses for I think it was 2005 ot 2007? That was via FIA if memory serves me right.
This is however nowhere near proper audit.Comment

Course he is.
He hasn't answered the points about :
1) What a mess several countries in Europe are in. By comparison we're doing OK - and have more flexiblity to change as have full control over economic policy.
2) If he loves the great weather and the Euro so much, he hasn't explained why he simply doesn't go and live thereHard Brexit now!

That's not necessarily true. Cost of salaries in pounds in the UK is reducing for Eurozone companies as the Euro strengthens, which is beneficial to them.Comment

Originally posted by AtW View PostYep, it was all FIA - which is fine and it should be reinforced, so far it works well.

Here we are talking about the whole EU budget, and you are moaning about politicians' expenses.
If that's your justification for NOT moaning about the EU budget, then it is the weakest argument I've ever heard. There's absolutely no comparison, no argument there at all.
Quite apart from which, politicians' expenses ARE properly audited, otherwise we could never have found out about the dodgy ones, we'd just have found a black hole.
Now, is anyone complaining that the UK budget is not audited properly? (Believe it or not AtW, the UK budget is not the same thing as politicians' expenses)Comment

It's not the Brussels that rips people off in this country - it is Gordon Brown, being in euro zone would help prevent a number of dirty tricks politicians use to hide their mismanagement.Comment
