Today's BBC television news has been dominated by stories which have little merit or are anti-government. Top of the list was the supposed row about Michael Gove's activities as Secretary of State for Education, closely followed by the ongoing, and now rather tired, story about flooding, the death of some American actor of whom I've never heard, the trial of a Coronation Street actor, and so on. No mention of the single most significant story of the day so far, but then the BBC is a fervent supporter of the European Union, so why would it highlight the shortcomings of this dreadful organisation ? Indeed, this story is even rapidly falling down the list of news items on the current version of what I still refer to as 'Teletext'.
While the EU's Home Affairs Commissioner has presented a report detailing the 'breathtaking' corruption which exists in the Union, the BBC news reported on a small 'sinkhole' opening up in High Wycombe; apparently the loss of a woman's car down this hole was considered more important than the identification of corruption within the EU amounting to £100,000,000,000 annually - that's £100 billion pounds, by the way, pretty much the budget of the entire NHS.
The commissioner, Cecilia Malmstroem, has gone even further than this and said that she believes the true cost of corruption within the Union to be 'much more' based on a survey conducted for the report but, presumably, £100bn was all she felt fully confident of reporting. Thus far, there does not seem to have been any reaction to this appalling news from any British, or EU, politicians.
One has to wonder why anyone, except those benefiting from the corruption, would want to belong to such an organisation. The sooner we leave it, the better. VOTE UKIP.
