If the Daily Telegraph or Daily Express have any sense, they'll make this the new MPs expenses scandal which should lead to our restoration of sovereignty eventually...
Maarten Engwirdla, the Dutch former Member of the European Court of Auditors, has blown the whistle in an interview in De Volkskrant on the deliberate cover-up of fraud and corruption within the European Empire.
As everyone knows, the European Empire is so corrupt that auditors have never given an unqualified opinion of the Empire's accounts since the inception of the Court of Auditors in 1975.
Now Engwirdla reveals how criticisms and exposures of EU fraud and corruption have "been sabotaged systematically for years".
"There was a practice of watering down if not completely removing criticism. I wanted to write a book, I was so sick of it all," he says.
Former EU 'anti-fraud commissioner' Siim Kallas of Estonia - now the European Empire's 'transport commisioner' - is singled out for particular criticism.
Whistle-blower Engwirdla is backed in his assertions by UKIP's Marta Andreasen, who herself is the former European Commission Chief Accountant.
Now a UKIP MEP, Andreasen says: "The EU talks of transparency but crushes whistle-blowers. It speaks of probity but it is a byword for financial corruption and waste. As a political entity, the EU stinks to high heaven. All that surprises me about the revelations of the former member of the Court of Auditors, Mr. Engwirda, is that they did not come sooner."
She also recalls how: "When I was Chief Accountant of the European Commission, I experienced huge pressure to conceal the truth about EU expenditure and not voice any criticism. I can back up what Mr Engwirda said as I witnessed the arm twisting of the Auditors each time they attempted to reveal the failures in the EU accounting and control systems. They came under huge pressure to keep the accountancy fraud hushed up."
Due to the behaviours leading to the cover-up, Marta asserts that: "In my opinion, the European Court of Auditors is not an independent body and they cannot therefore be relied upon."
And if THEY cannot be relied upon, just how corrupt is the European Empire anyway?
And why are the British taxpayers financing this corrupt organisation to the tune of many, many billions each year?
