EXCLUSIVE: Would EU believe it! Sam Cam’s family rakes in MILLIONS from Euro coffers
DAVID Cameron's aristocrat father-in-law is raking in millions of pounds in taxpayer-funded EU farming subsidies, an investigation by Express.co.uk can reveal.
Sir Reginald Adrian Berkeley Sheffield, 8th Baronet, receives
eye-watering sums of money from Brussels to help fund the upkeep of his
sprawling Lincolnshire estate.
The aristocrat, who is the father of Samantha Cameron, is just one of a
number of wealthy landowners who get huge pots of cash paid out by the EU's
controversial Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
Today an investigation by this website exposes how the 58 billion Euro
(£46BN) scheme, which was set up to help impoverished farmers, is now being
exploited by Britain's landed elite to bankroll their huge inherited
estates.
Amazingly the taxpayer-funded programme is handing over hundreds of
millions of pounds of our cash to rich aristocrats, fox hunting associations and
local councils.
