WHY DO WE STILL TOLERATE EU BUDGET SCANDAL?

European Union budget spending has been riddled with irregularities for the 13th year running, according to its top auditing watchdog.
The EU auditors have criticised inadequate controls over most EU expenditure for the 13th year running. When is this disgrace going to end?
Irregularities, particularly in the spending of economic aid to poorer regions, were highlighted. The European Court of Auditors said the errors ranged from missing documents declaring how money was spent to charging more than the actual cost of the project.
No wonder our feeble Labour and Lib-Dem MPs are terrified to give us a referendum on the new EU Treaty/Constitution.
The EU is no longer fit for purpose, the politicians who keep making excuses or covering up should be sacked at the next General and Euro elections. We in the UK should refuse to pay one single more pound to the EU until it can provide honest accounts.
