A leaked note from European Parliament Vice-President Diana Wallis showed that more than 60 MEPs regularly sign in to be present for the monthly EP session in Strasbourg on Fridays, even though the EP does not convene on Fridays – allowing MEPs to make €200 each time. The so-called “Friday reimbursement” has come under fire previously and has cost the European Parliament €820,000 since 2004.

If and when we get MEPs elected I am going to make it a personal mission to expose these crooks and ensure that they are hung out to dry. I don't mind them being well paid. I do mind them bleeding the system for work they aren't doing.
While we are on this topic - why are we bribing MEPs to turn up to do their jobs anyway? We don't bribe MPs to go to Westminster. It has to end.
