TPA Launch New Cinema Advert
This is a new cinema advert created by the Taxpayers' Alliance. It illustrates the cost of EU membership to the UK taxpayer. I think it ought to have a caption at the end saying: "Brought to you by the people who gave you 18 Doughty Street attack ads"!
A series of unsourced and rather dubious statistics against a background of avaricious swarthy looking furriners put out by a tory astroturf group with a reputation for porkies. Very edifying.
Taxpayer's Alliance. Is that the same Taxpayer's alliance as the one which recently turned out to have a prominent member who was not a taxpayer? Or did I dream that?
It's pathetic (and the "book" is completely bonkers). The TPA are of course a Tory front and are increasingly being exposed as that. And, like the Tories, are funded by ex-pats who live abroad and don't pay tax!

Not sure about the fact they only spent 6 seconds promoting the book. Still, can't complain as a eurosceptic!

Calm down Jimmy its time for your medication.

I think taxpayers' alliance is one of those ironic names, like German Democratic Republic or Conservative Centre for Social Justice
