The audit commission has refused to agree the accounts of the EEC for several years now, and the woman who called attention to corruption and graft within the organisation has found herself vilified from all sides including by our own 'dear' Neil Kinnock, and now no longer works for the EEC. The whole organisation [sic] is a lunatic gravy train, it makes hundreds of laws/rules etc which some countries regard as a pick-and-mix obeying those they like and ignoring the others. While the UK slavishly follows these rules, France continues to ignore the EEC ruling on the import of British Beef, and Italy and Germany ignore the rules regarding national debt as a percentage of their GDP. It's certainly a club which Groucho Marx wouldn't have joined, which is a pity really because he was a better comedian than those who run it at present.
