      Before all the CUK UKIPists go into some kind of orgasmic meltdown, you should read the story. It's about all corruption in the EU countries, not corruption in the organisation that is the EU.
      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

        These corrupt countries help run the EU Government. The EU Government is of course our Government too.

        We are all in this together.

        God help us.

          Ha! Yes I noticed that too.
          At first sight I thought the BBC site must have been hacked - an anti-EU story there? Never!

          But no, it was the same old pro-EU shyte you come to expect from them. The EU will save the continent!

          lol

            Yup the answer to all Europe's problems is always more EU!

            Economy collapsed thanks to the Euro? Well its your fault now have some more EU.

            Corrupt Government giving you grief? Join the EU and all will be well. After all the EU are world leaders in waste and corruption.

              Strangley enough I've not seen the BBC take this angle on the Somerset floods

              EU policy: deliberately flooding the Somerset Levels

              It is all very well for Chris Smith, Chairman of the Environment Agency, to prattle on about "difficult choices", and to tell us that "more must be done to protect the Somerset Levels". But the flooding crisis over which he is presiding is one which he, at the behest of the EU, has deliberately allowed to happen..............

              ............. Allowing the flooding of the Levels was a matter of EU policy, introduced by a 2007 Directive and consciously adopted by the Environment Agency in 2008, which then sought to increase the frequency of flooding in the area

              Of six policy options, the Agency thus adopted the sixth, to: "Take action to increase the frequency of flooding to deliver benefits locally or elsewhere, which may constitute an overall flood risk reduction". This policy option, they said, "involves a strategic increase in flooding in allocated areas" (p.141). The Levels were to be allowed to flood, as a matter of deliberate policy.
              "Making space for water" gotta love that.

                  Very good.

                  Perhaps that the only way voters can make the difference - deselect the *****rs, the lot of 'em.

                    So basically we have an article about a report on corruption in EU countries and that's described as "biased" because it isn't actually about the EU?

                    How about this article about the football? That's not about the EU, is it "biased" too?

                    BBC Sport - Manchester City 0-1 Chelsea

                    TBH the only baised viewpoint I see here is the anti-EU lobby looking for any excuse to spout off.
                    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
