UKIP slams £76,000 EU junket revealed in report.

The latest report from the Taxpayers Alliance just confirms
how out-of-touch the political class are. The fact that the EU believes that
spending nearly £76,000 on sending bureaucrats to a conference in Aruba is
acceptable just beggars-belief. UKIP is the only major party in the UK that
seeks to reduce public spending on overseas development to affordable and
sustainable levels, something overwhelmingly supported by the British people.Nathan Gill MEP, UKIP International Development
Spokesman said: "This report illustrates just how
out-of-touch the political elite really are with the
people
they are supposed to represent. The British
government
should be protecting taxpayers and seeking to reduce the
burden on them, but instead they consider it a
priority
to pass a law making it obligatory for future governments
to give away nearly £1billion every month of borrowed
money.
