So we now live in a feudal state, and here's me thinking we had democracy underpinned by accountability. I suppose we had, until about 1972.

How stupid can we peasants be!

No wonder several of these states have only just come from under Juntas or worse.

This is my money! These people are paid by me and the money they embezzle on their expenses is mine. A crime has been committed against me!

Unless and until the majority of people in Britain adopt the attitude above, this abuse will continue on an ever-increasing scale. It is the British peoples' supine attitude that encourages such abuse.

What to do about it? Contact your MEP and demand that the report be made public. Insist that he or she account for their own expenses - to you, personally. If that fails to produce the desired result, take to the streets and march on Downing Street to demand action. You were willing to do it for foxhunting, why not for your own hard-earned money.

The more we hear about the E.U. the more I am convinced that it has turned into a complete racket for the people who run it. The best route for the U.K. is to get out quickly. Unfortunately this will not happen, short of a revolution, because the E.U. provides excellent jobs for politicians and Civil Servants.

When any fraud is discovered in an organisation the correct method of handling it is to check the accuracy of the information and then pass the results on to the police for independent investigation. The alleged perpetrators are suspended pending the investigation and given an opportunity to see the evidence and give an explanation.

For the European parliament to simply keep the investigation secret simply means that if you are an MEP and you are found to steal then there will be no consequence as the reputation is more important.

For those in the European Parliament your reputation as far as I am concerned is of greedy, unaccountable civil servants and is why most people in Britain do not trust you.
