I presume that "erroneous spending" means that they don't know where the money has gone. I feel like that towards the end of the month but at least I don't get anyone else to pay my bills. We are mugs!

This is a short version of a long video showing Euro MPs signing in on Friday morning at 7am with their suitcases they then go home for the weekend. They have to sign in to get their daily allowance which I believe is around £200.

At the other end of the weekend apparently most meetings are arranged only between Tues and Thursday so they can return on Monday during the day.

I will only vote UKIP from now unless Labour or Conservative will gtee us an IN/OUT vote on the EU and not the broken promises of the past. However, the farce in Ireland where they had to have a second referendum because they gave the wrong answer in the first one makes me realise what a scam the EU is, and we pay £1billion a month to be a member. Enough is Enough, we need OUT.
