Self explanatory title. I abhor that nicey nicey, politically correct, pseudo-Christianity which almost always supports leftwing attitudes - which in most cases are profoundly anti-Gospel.

This Blog supports truly Christian websites and aids their efforts.
It is hardhitting and unashamedly evangelical so if it offends - please do not come to this site!

EU Travelling Circus.
Travelling EU
‘circus’ costs taxpayers £91m a year. Express.
TAXPAYERS are footing a £91million bill each year for the
European Parliament to decamp from Brussels to Strasbourg, according to its own
auditors.
Nigel
Farage called the move the 'biggest travelling circus in the
world'[GETTY]
The “travelling circus” shuttle sees 750 MEPs and 3,000 administrative
staff make the round trip to conduct business in the French city for four days a
month. They are followed by lorries carrying 2,500 plastic containers of files. The Court of Auditors report
reveals calculations that taxpayers across Europe would save more than £2billion
over the next 50 years if the MEPs stayed put. There would also be a one-off
windfall of £490million if the Strasbourg buildings were then sold off. The buildings are said
to cost £50million a year in
upkeep. Last night, Ukip leader Nigel Farage said: “This is the biggest
travelling circus in the world. But it will take French support to change it,
and that will never happen. Time to get out.” Simon Rose, of Get Britain Out,
said: “Finally the European Union is admitting how much hard-earned taxpayers
cash it wastes on the gravy train down to Strasbourg. “If the French are so
insistent for the Strasbourg seat to remain, then they should pay.
