Jools 584 Posted January 7, 2020 Brexit Party MEP Martin Daubney has revealed that every member of the European Parliament is given a duty-free catalogue of goodies to buy at massively cheaper prices than the people they represent. The brochure includes the offer of 200 cigarettes for just £7, and fizz for only £4. This is, of course, on top of the €105,092 salary and fixed receipt-free ‘expenses’ allowance… Just 24 days until Brits finally leave this circus… 👍 Tags: Brexit Party People: Martin Daubney Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,760 Posted January 7, 2020 Ask our MPs about their subsidised restaurants and bars. https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/foi/transparency-publications/hoc-transparency-publications/catering-services/catering-services-menus-and-tariffs/ And wouldn't it be nice if people like Martin Daubney refuses his wages and cheap fags so to prove he isn't a parasitic waste of space. But he won't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Load of Squit 5,162 Posted January 7, 2020 The British Prime Minister has access to 2 free homes which allows them to rent out their London homes that have been subsidised by tax payers money. Politicians getting ridiculous perks seems to be news to Jools. 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But he won't. I spent ten years working as a consultant for the EU in both Brussels and Luxembourg. At all their major sites they have a supermarket selling luxury products at knock down prices, not just for the politicians but also for the fonctionaires (the civil servants). Tax-free and vat-free Champagne cost a couple of quid back in the day. Each Friday lunchtime I would go and buy a crate of Champagne and a side of smoked salmon and invite a group of bureaucrats to my office for a free drinks session during the afternoon which meant I got plenty of projects channelled my way. The trough was deep and they emptied it on a regular basis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,760 Posted January 7, 2020 As with the Trump gang the Brexiters have spent the last few years lying their arses off, conning the general public to a massive degree and then come out with stuff like this expecting me to believe a word they say. **** off. 11 minutes ago, Rock The Boat said: I spent ten years working as a consultant for the EU in both Brussels and Luxembourg.

Oh........ We had a choice of either leading Europe into the 21st century whilst still being a bridge to the USA - or simply being largely an irrelevance to all - including the USA (did Trump ask / consult Boris - no). Possibly a useful bauble to decorate others foreign policy with. Not really sure what role the UK has now on the world stage. If we did become a 51st state at least we might get a vote !
