If only our 'journalists' weren't so busy investigating whether Boris had heard of Naga Munchitty before, they could investigate this.

Wonder if the BBC will mention it? Don’t hold your breath.

[Spicerack]

They gave Hillary Clinton an Integrity award, lol.
That's all anybody needs to know about them.

Good find spicey.

I'd wager that a Twitter account named "Brexit Tory" isn't the most impartial source.

[Jackdaw33]

I had never heard of this wretched woman until recently. I suppose we must wait for an election when she and the tiny band of slimy toads she leads will be swept to oblivion.

[Spicerack]

As David said, mozz, it ain't as though the aBBC, or any of the lame-stream media, would report it.

Transparency International (TI) is a Global Think Tank. It’s aim is to counter Corruption, particularly in Government.
While Swinson’s husband, Duncan Hames is Director of Policy at TIs UK Chapter, the grant from the EU was actually to TIs EU Chapter based in Berlin, not the UK chapter.
One of its recent findings was that the Brexit Party MEP have the highest outside incomes than any other party in the EU Parliament.

That's because digging for financial links is a double-edged sword. I'd be wary of going too far down this, otherwise I'm sure someone will be along before too long to start digging up all the equally rotten connections in the Brexit camp.

Thanks for confirming they're EU shills, gromit.
Jim, if any Brexit politicians are involved in bribery and corruption, I want them investigated. I don't want things brushed under the carpet because they might turn out to be inconvenient to 'my side'.

[Mozz71]

And Gromit's post highlights exactly why mainstream media haven't reported it. It's a massive distortion of the truth.

The figure is in euros, not pounds. The UK Government paid more to them last year and the Canadian government was the third largest donor.

[Spicerack]

Do you think their UK Dept. has a different philosophy to their EU Dept., mozz?
Corby. Who cares where they get the rest of their dirty money from.
I'm amazed at you champagne-socialists. At least when I was a lefty back in the day we believed we were on the moral high ground.

[THECORBYLOON]

They get more money from a government that wants to LEAVE the EU don't they? If there is any bias, why are they not following the wishes of the largest donor?

[Mozz71]

They get money from governments all over the globe. Highlighting one in order to poorly attempt to insinuate corruption by a political opponent is pathetic, even by Brexiteer standards.

Grommit //Transparency International (TI) is a Global Think Tank. It’s aim is to counter Corruption, particularly in Government//

How well is it doing? What has it uncovered? Is it selective in its findings, (there's a heap of corruption in the EU itself) Does it justify 3 & half million pounds of taxpayer's money?
It appears that the people on Twitter in Spicerack's link are doing an excellent job for nothing.

[ichkeria]

“Is it selective in its findings”

Not while I’m having my coffee Khandro please. That’s another shirt ruined!

[Marshwarble]

Or she could care about your livelihood, Spicerack? Just a thought...
