According to the UKIP forum e-newsletter, “Potty Brussels pen-pushers handed more than £160,000 to a dance group who perform ‘spectacular belching’ and ‘smelly foot’ jigs. The taxpayers’ cash was given to the London-based Flying Gorillas troupe who use “rhythm, music and gibberish” to ‘explore friendship and tolerance’.” Just madness!

Another £166,849 went to help a German street theatre group build a “large dragon which can breathe fire and small smoking volcanoes on wheels”.

And a staggering £400million was paid out in grants to projects around the world about which no details have been released because they are described as “Confidential”. While some of the “confidential” cash is being used for schemes in Afghanistan, a staggering 79.6million pounds went to a South African aid project, with another 65.9million pounds for a neighbourhood project in Moldova.

With the rest of us being hit by cuts, isn’t it about we got out of the EU and saved the £6.4bn a year we dole out so wastefully? The sooner the better!
