Europe's Money

Mr Chirac seems rather keen to increase the amount of money that is taken from British taxpayers and poured into the Brussels Black Hole. EU Rota has a good look at why this is a con trick, by analysing the contributions and reciept of funds by France and the UK in 2003. The Strasborg Cesspit meanwhile has broken a months silence to explain the kind of benefits that are available to MEPs. One of the worthy causes that our cash goes to I supose. Meanwhile, Daniel Hannan tells us what he thinks of the budget debate in today's Telegraph. All in all the budget debate will provide lots more opportuntity for the EU to tear itself apart. Who ever would have thought that 2005 would be such a good year to be a Eurosceptic.
