The EU's auditors have caused trouble yet again by refusing to sign off the EUs accounts in their totality. My eyes were drawn to this defence of the EU's spending habits by "The European Commissioner for Administration, Audit and Anti-fraud, Siim Kallas" in the article on the BBC website, linked to above:
"You lost your wallet and you get it back with some money inside, but you still consider it a catastrophe. This is our main debate with the Court of Auditors."
Somewhere in Hitchhikers Guide Peter Jones says: "for Arthur, surprise is no longer adequate, and he is forced to resort to astonishment."
Still, at least the EU are admitting that they are stealing our wallets, illegally removing money and then handing us back somewhat less money than we had before.
Hat-Tip: Biased BBC.
