Default EU Orders us to return money

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21594128

Coming from an organisation that has, to my knowledge not had its own accounts signed off for the last 17 years, I find that a bit rich.

Its little gems like this that, IMO, make the average Joe Public want to exit the EU.

I'm sure they have as well, and will/would continue to do so. However I'm not too sure how many people would be happy if they paid £1000 to their local authority in council tax each year, but the council could only account for where £900 of it has gone?

Yep, got it in one.
Enforce every daft rule, obey every daft order, and then blame the EC when Joe Public complains.....

What we should do is tell them we'll pay when the accounts get signed off.........ah never mind, you keep it then

I suspect we'll roll over like a puppy however.

Tell them to get stuffed! Then leave the Eu anyway, that would be our best step forward for this country.
