THE farcical European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy costs EU taxpayers £55bn a year.
It leads to massive waste, the bankruptcy of developing countries, less efficient farming practices and higher food costs for consumers.
But despite the catastrophic public finances across Europe, the EU is planning to increase the yearly funding for the CAP by more than £8bn a year by 2020.
Any other group of people proposing such madness would be carted off to the funny farm.
Yet another reason for leaving the rapidly sinking European Union.
