2 ...Fair cop on the 'your' 'you're' argument...doh<br /><br />2 quick points:<br /><br />The CAP needs reform certainly- I don't know of any UK party which thinks the EU is totally positive- then again Westminster passes a hell of a lot of dumb laws too you may have noticed.<br /><br />CAP is important though- with UK farmers being squeezed by supermarkets its important that there are clear ways we help sustain them and ensure that they get a fair price for their product. But we need to work within the EU to move the CAP away from subsidizing large corporate super-farms to doing looking after the small family ones who cannot survive just on what the supermarkets will pay for their product.<br /><br />2. On the account- yes need more transparency- against hat means being in the EU fighting for reform not sniping from the sidelines/ doing bugger all like UKIP. It should also be pointed out that one of the reasons the accounts have not been signed off is because the UK GOvernment has failed to properly account for a lot of the money given to us by the EU. If we get our own house in order then maybe we can get an auditors tick.<br /><br />I don't get UKIP- if you want out of the EU you need to work nationally, if your going into the European Parliament then you should work to make the institution the best it can be. UKIP do neither they are a waste of tax payers money and a smear on the UKs reputation.Chrome diplomatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-6114736853680395542009-05-23T01:08:11.088+01:002009-05-23T01:08:11.088+01:00Hi,

Allowances or expenses if they do not equate to actual expenses with receipts would seem to be taxable but note <br />http://caterpillarsandbutterflies.blogspot.com/2009/05/486-off-trough-they-work-for-you.html<br />The number to report an MEP or MP for defrauding HM Revenue or even for conspiring with others to defraud HMRC, which is a criminal offence:<br />ie you can't just hand over the sack of swag when you are caught with it! <br />Stolen money stays stolen even WHEN it is paid back as EUkip's fraudsters Clive Page, Ashley Mote (undredged!), Lindsay Jenkins & Tom Wise will attrest - the last two named will be answering the criminal charges against them just after EY results are counted on June 8th. at Westminster Courts, where they face allocation.<br /><br />I believe that it will be clear on Sunday that EUkip are far from the virginal honesty when it comes to expenses as a protest vote.<br /><br />The amounts that have seemingly been trousereed in EUkip are eye watering per capita relative to the Tories.<br /><br />Just to be on the safe side don't waste your vote on a self enriching moral dyslexic - Politicians have not represented the electorate for years, only themselves.<br /><br />Don't waste your vote on a politician withdraw your mandate and deny them theirs: <br />Just write on your ballot paper <br />LEAVE THE EU<br />The clear wish of the majority in Britain without going against your 'tribal' vote.<br /><br />75%+ of all the laws are imposed from The EU so just keep demanding representation with:<br />LEAVE THE EU<br />on every ballot until we can make our own laws for our own peoples, can control our own borders in our own interests, legislate for our own businesses, agriculture and financial institutions - ensure the well being of our own fish stocks in our own waters.<br /><br />You KNOW the only ethical way to vote is to write on your ballot paper<br />LEAVE THE EU <br />In the best interests of your family, friends and the future AND in fact, as Churchill made clear for the benefit of the Continental Countries.<br /><br />The Anglosphere has much to offer the world whilst Continental EU is looking for ways to regulate and take, building ever larger military forces of The Rapid Repression Force (YOU can call it Mary Anne!)and armed police of EUroPol increasingly able to abuse and kill citizens across borders using EU arrest warrants!<br /><br />You KNOW it makes sense write:<br />LEAVE THE EU<br />If you do this you will help destroy The BNP and strengthen YOUR Country as a Patriot.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Greg L-W.Greg_L-W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03702733467535493491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-83942223200595168682009-05-22T18:23:24.392+01:002009-05-22T18:23:24.392+01:00The thing that puzzled and amused me was this "rea...The thing that puzzled and amused me was this "real people" thing.

MEP's don't get to say whether we are on or out of the EU- if they actually wanted to do that should be running for Westminster.<br /><br />2.

They don't do any of the work done on the committees- and so do not even try to alter legislation for the better<br /><br />4. They talk about ending the European gravy train, yet most of them only turn up to Strasbourg, not Brussels and yet claim full salary- do you think in the private sector you could get away with full pay for 1/4 of the work?<br /><br />5. They attack people about expenses yet 1 in 6 of their MEPs has been involved with, or allegedly involved with some form of corruption.<br /><br />6. Listen to most of them for 2 minutes and it becomes very clear that they don't actually understand the very basic make up of the EU- what the three institutions do and how that affects people.<br /><br />7. Could also say that rather than giving £40 million a day to EU its actually £28 million- and this is not including the rebate we get back and that only 3% of EU law requires new UK legislation to have it implemented.
