Peoples' Vote.

[Notch7]

No change so far in the nonsensical comments and irrelevancies.

True, the post below is indeed nonsense:

suspect this particular avenue of criticism of EU is another red herring.

The UK government didn't have published, audited accounts for hundreds of years, and only published a set of audited accounts for the first time, 8 years ago:
"The Treasury... The first set of accounts to be published will be for the year ended 31 March 2010.
The accounts are independently audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General[2] and get scrutinized by the Public Accounts Committee each year."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_of_Government_Accounts

The UK government is the only government to publish such accounts:
" It is the only set of audited, consolidated accounts in the world that includes the financial performance and position of both central and local government. " https://www.nao.org.uk/press-release/whole-of-government-accounts-2016-17/

Even they are suspect to not disclosing the accurate picture and to fail to disclose some information:
"Despite recent improvements, the Whole of Government Accounts (WGA) continues to lack specific detail in key areas that would enable a fuller analysis of the public finances. There remains limited information in the WGA..." https://www.nao.org.uk/press-release/whole-of-government-accounts-2016-17/

There may be ulterior motives for this non-disclosure:
" As the UK exits from the European Union and the process of managing the government’s deficit progresses, these disclosures and the underlying data will be increasingly relevant and useful; ...." https://www.nao.org.uk/press-release/whole-of-government-accounts-2016-17/

So your answer is to bang on about the UK government........

True, the post below is indeed nonsense:

To omit an explanation why you think it is nonsense either demonstrates that you have no reason to support your comment, or you can't think of anything, or it renders your comment itself irrelevant and nonsensical.

No - the answer was a reply to darrington's egregiously stupid rant about the EU being "the most corrupt dictatorship on the planet", and a bunch of crooks, and in support of those laughable claims adducing the lack of audited accounts.

True, the post below is indeed nonsense:

Can you produce proof that the points which Doppelganger made were false?

Or is this just yet one more facet of the totally fact-free bubble which you inhabit?

Its nonsense because it has nothingnto with the EUs auditing.

Its just whataboutery

I didnt say the points he made were false, did I?

I said they were nonsense.

Nonsense because they make no attempt to disprove the EU auditing post made earlier.

If you want to make what you consider clever put downs, at least make the effort to concentrate enough to follow the post stream.

Indeed so.

 

[EFLImpudence]

The thread title is itself nonsense.

Were they supposed to?

Or were they meant to highlight the idiocy of objecting specifically to the EU on the grounds that their lack of audited accounts makes them the most corrupt dictatorship on the planet, when the reality is that such a lack is common across many different countries?

If you want to make what you consider clever put downs

I can't help it if what I write is clever - it's just the way I am.

In much the same way that you can't help the lack of cleverness in what you write.
