Believe nothing

‘It’s not just that the European Commission wants an extra €46 billion; it also wants to spend a disproportionate share of the increase on itself. The percentage of its proposed EU budget dedicated to “administration” would rise from 5.7 to 6.1.

When Eurocrats say “administration”, they mean grotesqueries of this sort. Imagine for a moment how such a story must look from the perspective of a postman in Patras facing redundancy.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the EU has become a racket: a mechanism to redistribute resources from the many to the few. I can understand why the Greeks are protesting. What I can’t understand is why the rest of us aren’t.’
