Couldn't have been that stealthy if you knew all about it - so why were the EU ignoring the issue? That's Einhorn for you. LOL! Remember that time you wholeheartedly condemned Mo Farah for being a tax exile, Vinny? Turns out Farage set up a tax haven trust fund on the isle of Man.  That's Vinny for you! |

No, but if the courts judged by the standards Farage and his followers ( that would be you) apply in their assessment of others, the EU could have prosecuted. Very strong circumstantial evidence is still circumstantial evidence, Doc. |

Unless you are saying that the EU courts are as corrupt as Farage..  |

Unless you are saying that the EU courts are as corrupt as Farage.. It should be apparent I'm saying the exact opposite. If the standards applied in the European courts were as low as those applied by you and others who describe the EU Parliament as a 'cesspit of corruption' on the basis of allegations against less than 1% of its members, then they would be 'corrupt'. |

So let's kick the tyres on that If you suppose with such certainty that the EU chose to ignore something then you must have been an insider fully aware of what was going on. So please tell us what sort of envelopes you were using for these cash bribes, plain brown or higher cost white? |

Looking forward to your calling for more robust investigations into the awarding of PPE contracts, Russian interference in UK politics, a Russian oligarch being appointed to the House of Lords against the advice of the appointments committee and the intelligence services, etc., Doc. (Would you describe the Tory party as a cesspit of corruption?). Probably better you focus on the 0.1% of the EU Parliament alleged to have committed corruption - you know, the lady who was more than likely reported to the police by her own colleagues in the EU. |

But you have just said that they ignored 2 decades of rampant corruption - if that is not an example of low standards I'm not sure what it. |

LOL - you are having a laugh. 0.1% indeed..  Fraud and corruption have dogged the EU for decades, the Commission had to resign en masse in 1999 and March 2016 (just before the Brexit referendum) an independent investigation estimated that fraud and corruption cost the EU in excess of £750 billion in GDP terms annually. Face facts - fraud and corruption is endemic in the EU and always has been.. |

It had long been the case that the EU expenses system was wide open to abuse and needed reforms (often blocked on the basis that those abusing the system wanted to keep it that way).

Please do as frankly it would be quite amazing for £750B losses by fraud to occur in an organisation with an annual budget of only ~ £150B Failing such a link I'm calling your post a fraud |

That's Vinny for you!
