Sleaze pros

EURO MPs are pulling off scams that make our own greedy MPs look like amateurs.

A shocking report into Brussels MPs’ expenses has been hidden in a bunker for fear it will destroy the EU Parliament’s authority.

Stories emerge of MPs helping themselves to £125,000 by pretending it is for office help.

They already boost their £62,000 salaries with lavish travel and attendance expenses.

Brussels is awash with corruption.

MPs cheerfully rob the public purse. Officials produce accounts so dodgy that not even the EU Commission’s own auditors will sign them off.

And at the heart of the EU is a discredited farming policy that positively encourages fraud on a massive scale. Picking up the bill are British taxpayers.

Gordon Brown has betrayed us by refusing a referendum on further EU integration.

So will he tell us why Britain should be run by this bunch of crooks?
