At the moment we don't pay VAT on food or childrens clothing. But the EU want to change all that and increase the rate to 22%.
Seems we can't support their gross extravagance, illegal and corrupt practices, expenses fiddles, grant skimming scams and incompetence on 17.5% Value (??) Added Tax.
One ex-leader of the opposition Mr Neil Kinnock (The Welsh Windbag) on being heavily defeated in a general election helped get his wife elected as a euro mp then became her boss. He then he suspended a corruption whistle-blower and did sweet fanny adams about corruption except milk it for all it was worth.
