Corrupt is Russia. Corrupt is China. Corrupt is North Korea, or Venezuela, or various African governments, especially in the earlier eras of Mugabe and the like. The EU is amateur-level compared to that lot. So yes, I am being serious. Maybe instead of laughing you could actually be constructive and contribute for a change.
The EU isn’t corrupt by any normal 21st century standards.
That Euro MPs are on a jolly gravy train is undeniable, but since their pocket-lining is no more than happens in the UK, or the US, or in most major British money-grabbing boardrooms, I can’t see any ‘principled’ objection from the self-proclaimed supporters of capitalism (grab all you can and devil take the hindmost), I can’t understand your stance.

Not corrupt enough to be worth bothering with.? Even the EUSSR obsessed Beep Beep See thinks otherwise. This was a little while back. No doubt it is even worse now.

"In March 2016 the European Parliament published a larger independent study that revealed corruption was a hairs width away from €1trillion euros. In an economy of €14.3trillion it confirmed that 14 per cent of the entire GDP of the EU was bathing in corruption.
In Brussels alone there are now over 30,000 corporate lobbyists, shadowy agitators as The Guardian puts it, which are responsible for influencing three quarters of legislation in the EU."
“In the complex world of public policy-making, it is desirable for public administrations to engage in a continuous dialogue with outside stakeholders. All interested parties should be able to have their say, but this should be done in a transparent way. As lobbying activities can raise risks of corruption and regulatory capture, it is desirable to have mechanisms in place to frame such activities, be it through legislation or a voluntary registration of lobbyists”.
"It’s a pity then that the EU Commissioners, decided to reject its own guidance in practice."
Haha even the Brussels times thinks that corruption is rife.
""The Brussels Times pulls no punches with its findings as it concludes;
“EU budget fraud has historically taken a wide range of forms, from farmers seeking payments for climatically impossible sugar cane cultivation to the channeling of funds for immigration projects to what some have labeled terrorist groups. Successive scandals have surfaced that have led to an impression among the public that there is an unwillingness or inability to take action against malpractice, fraud and corruption, which undermines public support for the EU.”
Barmy things?? Haha.
