Seen as more serious in the EU than UK?
Show me what you know. This will be fun.
I’ve just told you. I can post some links if you like but that would be more a case of showing you what you don’t know rather than showing you what I know. Alternatively before you start talking nonsense why don’t you go and look for yourself and do some fact checking beforehand.
Here’s some pointers for you. There’s at least two British MEP’s who have been jailed for expense fraud and forced to pay it back. There’s been a few British MP’s jailed for the same and a good few more who were deselected, resigned, retired early and paid money’s back to avoid further scrutiny/legal action. I really find it hard to believe that you need a link for the latter given the size of the scandal and how well it was covered.
Cash for questions. There was one fairly high profile case of an Austrian MEP who went to jail for it. There was a big scandal here in the U.K. (again I can’t believe you need a link for this) but I wrongly or rightly don’t believe and MEP’s went to jail for it and I can always only think of Neil Hamilton who ever faced any real action over it.
