Johnrb is on a distinguished road
More pigs at the trough

Here is a great video (with English subtitles) of European Parliament members showing up for work at quarter to seven in the morning. Well, not actually showing up for work, rather they are signing in and them leaving for the weekend, suitcases in tow.

This camera man and reporter followed them and the results are amusing. Think of cockroaches diving for cover when the lights are turned on - the Green Party member looks like an animal caught in headlights as she panics and dives back into the elevator. Then again, what do you expect for a measly salary of 14,000 euros per month.

Man, if that's an accurate report, it's disgraceful. Don't let Rockter see that one!

They should require them to sign in AND out. No pay for less then 4 hours work, pro rated pay for anything less than 8.

Rockter will become famous soon enough
I have seen it.

Well done the German reporters.

I hope Idiens has a look at it too. I look forward to hearing how wonderful it is that more power is being given to the European Parliament, the same parliament that permits and brazenly participates in this revolting fraud.

Seven in the morning, sign here, send the people the bill.
This is fraud. From the Latin "fraudus", a trick, typically financial.
Stateside they'd get investigated. In the EU they throw out the reporters.

Bare faced, undeniable fraud. Their bags packed to leave, and ten-a-plenty, signing on the list to defraud their "much-loved" fellow Europeans (ever-expanding) and scurrying like rats whenever they are discovered.

That money they claim falsely is from the taxpayers of this country and others. I know one old guy who paints my house occasionally. He arrives on a Honda 100cc, with a box on the back and his paints in there. He pays taxes, yes, takes that end up defrauded there, no-doubt tax-free too.

Does anyone wonder, anywhere, why we want nothing to do with this self-serving cabal.

Show this one before the next referendum that nearly happens.

Let's have another treaty, but don't let the people vote on it.

Expletive to the lot of them, and contempt.... utter contempt, from first to last.

What he doesn't mention is that is exactly what he does, when his wife asks him to take out the trash.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
