Open Europe blog

A blog about the European Union, foreign policy, politics, etc

 

EU Comedy Awards

In an earlier post this week we asked who on earth the European Parliament was giving snazzy medals out to, and what on earth for?

Well, courtesy of the Telegraph's Bruno Waterfield it turns out that Den Dover, the disgraced former Tory MEP who owes the taxpayer £500K in "unduly paid" expenses, has been awarded a medal for his "vital contribution to the public debate". Ditto Tom Wise - you know, the UKIP MEP who has been charged with fraud over claims of secretarial allowances worth £36K.

It's so stupid it's hilarious.
