DAVD Cameron promised to freeze the size of our annual contributions to the EU budget.

Instead, he has agreed to increase it by £2.9bn although, admittedly, this is less than originally demanded.

Apparently we were only granted this “favour” provided Mr Cameron quietly accepts the next treaty change without providing the EU referendum he promised. No doubt he is aware that this referendum would prove that most of this country want their politicians out of the EU and at home, concentrating on our own problems.

However, as this would deprive many in his party of rewarding EU careers, his first loyalty, like that of Labour’s Ed Miliband and Liberal Democrat Nick Clegg, appears to be more to his party than the British people. This grovelling to the EU will make the votes of future generations ever more worthless.

Meanwhile, the EU Commission tells us that 1.1 per cent of its budget, 1.49 billion euros, is lost in fraud/irregularities each year.

This generally happens at regional agency level all over the EU. Moreover, crime pays, it seems. These agencies are to receive an increase of 16.9 per cent to their budgets, or maybe that’s roughly 15.8 per cent once the fraud and irregularities have found a home.
