"Mr President, well we have finally made it, haven’t we? Agonising negotiations, budget cuts, budgets rises, tears, tantrums and vetoes that never were. So what are we left with? Well, we are left in the UK with us paying GBP 53 million a day into an organisation that has not had its accounts signed off for 19 years! So no change there then.
The EU has even tried to hide the bad press. Mr Van Rompuy threatened the Court of Auditors to give the accounts a clean bill of health. But even then there were more errors, so that means even more taxpayers’ money lost for ever.
Last month we had an emergency vote to raise EUR 2.7 billion or, we were told, the EU would shut down like the USA. Of course, our friends the Conservatives did not even have the bottle to vote against this, and abstained, in another stunning victory for Mr Cameron: whilst we have cuts at home, more money for the European Union.
Do not be fooled by this agreement: it is merely papering over the cracks. Because next year the dam will burst at the European elections and in my country UKIP will be riding on the crest of an anti-EU wave."@en1
