On What Does The Eu Spend €58 Billion Each Year?
If you are interested, have a listen to the latest edition of ‘The Now Show’
The complete programme is worth a listen – but if you are only interested in this, Rich Pappiatt starts at about 8 ½ minutes in.

Although a satirical radio show, it is a very serious topic.
Although the UK government has said that the subsidies will continue post Brexit – it won’t be long before the government (and the general population) realise that they get nothing for this yearly €3 billion spend.

The audit, published this morning, found that £109 billion out of a total of £117 billion spent by the EU in 2013 was "affected by material error”. Not the £100 billion that some may have thought, reading only the headline.

//Would that be the National Audit Office then, tonyav? If so, how is that different to the way the EU is audited?//
I would imagine the main difference to be that someone gets banged up if proven to have lied and submitted false accounts........ rather than getting a lifetime pension and rewards for all their immediate family and "friends". One man's cynic is another man's realist.

I take that to mean that the other £8 billion is missing entirely, because every penny they spend is "affected by material error", and subject to bribery and corrupt practice.
