The joke of EU spending

Is it really surprising that people are naturally sceptical over the EU with news like this being released all the time.


The fact the EU has had its accounts rejected for 12 years in a row is hardly likely to make people trust the EU. Especially with the huge sums of money the EU has to play with.


Now the Government wants to try and boost our trust in EU spending by releasing figures of how much the EU spends in the UK. I’m not so sure this is a good idea. The UK is a net loser, in that we pay more to the EU than we get back. So releasing figures of what is spent is more likely to make people realise what the EU costs us.


Then again, I suppose Labour encouraging people to vote UKIP is better than them voting Conservative.
