It’s good to see corruption in the EU gets to be investigated properly.


how’s the investigation going into Russian influence in the Conservative party? - oh that it’s been hushed up

hows the investigation into PPE scandals going - oh that’s right it’s being hushed up.

The EU is institutionally corrupt.
It isn't just a case of a few bad apples.
Remember how they cooked the books to allow Greece to join the EU.

“This is not an isolated incident,” said anti-corruption campaigning group Transparency International.
“Over many decades, the Parliament has allowed a culture of impunity to develop, with a combination of lax financial rules and controls and a complete lack of independent (or indeed any) ethics oversight,” its director, Michiel van Hulten, said.
