nice EU?

[Ivemovedon]

Politicians and big business involved in the misappropriation of EU funds.
Not possible surely?..

[malabu]

You telling there is crime outside Fuerteventura, NEVER

[Mr G]

A local Bulgarian man arrested for this appalling crime.
Not linked to her investigative work say authorities.

[Ivemovedon]

I'm more interested in what she was investigating.

[vivafuerte]

Ms Marinova is the third European journalist to be killed in the past year.

Ms Marinova is the third European journalist to be killed in the past year.

Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, John McNamara, Rebecca Smith & Wendi Winters. Five journalists killed in the past six months in the United States of America.

[vivafuerte]

ohh I get it, its all OK if people are killed, becuase they do it everywhere.

 

nothing to see here, just some dead people killed by the EU, nothing out of the normal.

[FreedomCostsTax]

ohh I get it, its all OK if people are killed, becuase they do it everywhere.

Nope, you don't get it at all. It's NEVER OK if anyone get killed. It's just showing that statistically speaking it was better year for journalists living in the EU.

nothing to see here, just some dead people killed by the EU, nothing out of the normal.

Killed by the EU???  Let's get the whole EU behind the bars!

Or ... check the facts before you'll run to the police and look like complete idiot.

Viva As much as I hate and detest the EU and all it stands for even I would not accuse them of that.

[Ivemovedon]

As I said it would be interesting to know what exactly she was trying to uncover and who it applied to. Easier to make a judgement then.

I doubt any EU top knobs know too much of corruption practices but the lower layers of officialdom may well have things to hide.

[Mr G]

She was perhaps investigating EU members like Nigel Farage who wrongly claimed £35,500 and has had to repay it back.
Corrupt Nigel Farage, who would have guseeed?
But her murder was not related to her investigations according to authorities.

[vivafuerte]

ohh ohh farage ohh ohh leftie whiney spite.

go away nob end

[Mr G]

Typical comment.
I am all for exposing any corruption in any country,
Especially the journalist killed in Malta.
But you are only concerned with made up conspiracy theories about the EU.

[Ivemovedon]

I'm sure you would love to believe she was investigating Farage. The man who won us an EU referendum almost on his own whilst continuously being pilloried and bullied by the establishment and their political cronies in an effort to discredit him.
But it wasn't him and well we all know it...including you.
The only info I have seen is she was investigating Bulgarian misuse of EU funds by politicians and businessmen. Two fellow journalists were arrested by the authorities. All rather strange.

[Mr G]

You can’t read. I said LIKE Nigel Farage.
I never suggested she was investigating him, he’s been caught!
Keep up!

[Ivemovedon]

Why mention Farage in a Bulgarian corruption investigation. Wouldn't be trying to muddy the waters by any chance. Would you..no of course not

If he's paid it back what's the problem

I guess £35,000 isn't a big deal for Nigel who earns £90,000 each year (plus some extra on top of it) but there are families living in the UK with lower yearly income than the stolen £35K by Mr Nigel Farage.

He stole money thats the problem, if you consider this as no problem then surly the E U stealing billions is no problem either if they pay it back, then take it again the year after

[vivafuerte]

what about corbyn and him forgetting to pay all his taxes?

[Mr G]

Here they go, more made up stories!

[Ivemovedon]

Expenses fraud is all part of the political deal. Where have you lot been the last few years.

They just voted for EU expense accounts to be unaccountable with no recourse for the public of any member state to have any knowledge of what it is spent on. Carte blanche to abuse you might say?..of course it is.

British MP's of all parties have been caught doing it for years, got caught and just had their wrists slapped. Farage is just one of many. At least he has paid it back, There are some that have even got away with that.

Again I ask why is Nigel Farage's name brought up in a Bulgarian corruption investigation.

PS...Farage was part of selective persecution by the European Parliament towards Eurosceptic MEP's. It is claimed it was politically motivated. The EU has declined to comment on the accusation...can't say I'm surprised.

[malabu]

So because they have done it for years that’s ok, one of your main arguments on the EU was the fact they rip us off and we should get out and save millions but if we condone it why not save millions and stay in

[Ivemovedon]

I don't remember saying I think political fraud is acceptable. I said Farage paid it back what's the problem. Why pick him out among all the others.

Fact is he was made an example of to suit the European Parliaments anti Eurosceptic agenda.

[malabu]

because he is a crook like many more and should be treated as such, and stop just slapping there wrists

[Ivemovedon]

I thought you liked sticking to the point.

It's a Bulgarian issue. What's it to do with him?...or anyone else not connected to that member state.

Or do you know something I don't.

[malabu]

I know he is a crook if that helps, what I cannot get my head around is your comment, if he’s paid it back what’s the problem, sorry but he is still a crook and I don’t understand why you defend him, if it was Mrs May you would be baying for blood

Nigel Farage stole £35,500 - he's a thief. If there's someone else stealing, they are a thief too, no matter if they pay back or not. Simple as that.
