No wonder they want us to remain. To fund their nice away days.Enemies of the people and democracy.
Meanwhile the EU gravy train rattles on down the track.
The European Commission was today plunged into a row over its travel expenses after it emerged that Jean-Claude Juncker had splashed out £24,000 of taxpayers’ money on a private plane for a two-day visit to Rome.
The commission spent half a million euros on travel for its commissioners in January and February 2016, which works out at £8,000 being claimed by each of the 28 commissioners every month.

No wonder they have fought so hard to keep their expenses claims secret. #takebackcontrol

So apart from someone who has worked closely on Brexit who else needs to say it won't work until the penny drops? So far ex chief of staff and brains behind leave campaign have said will be a clusterfu"£. Do we accuse everyone of losing until Farage says it will ruin the country?

Looking forward to all that famous EU democratic accountability holding the commission to account ...
It would be a bit daft to hang around and get a detention. Seems a smart move to me.
As the sun shines over Europe, and the Euro soars in value, the self-inflicted mess of the U.K. will at least demonstrate to those on the mainland you're better in than out. If anyone had any doubts they won't now.

Nice distraction, but it won't help our increasingly desperate situation.

As President for one of the largest economic blocks in th world this seems a non event. And he is just about to rip us off and take tens of billions out of the UK, seems to me he is more than earning his perks.

Interesting justification for unfair and despotic behaviour.

If we leave the customs union we're complete unprepared. The IT project for this alone needed to have started 3 years ago

While few would deny that the EU top brass enjoy a disproportionate reward (not unlike our own captains of industry but that's a different story) the main issue here I that this sort of gravy train thing allows our most of our populist press to default to the narrative that casts the EU as the enemy of the British people. This is one of the assumptions that Brexit was built upon and we'll see how we get on without the bloated Eurocrats sooner rather than later.

Exposing corruption is a distraction, i see just sweep it under the carpet and forget about it... because after all that is the correct and just way of running a business.

As the sun shines over Germany,the rest of Europe drowns in a sea of youth unemployment and poverty,while cowering from the self-inflicted fear of jihadi terrorism.Poland leads the breakaway of eastern states,forming a new,modern version of Comecon,while most people in Great Britain breathe a sigh of relief that we escaped.

What a load of twaddle, another distraction to divert "us" the so called uninformed from knowing the real truth..the truth that the EU itself as well as many other things is undemocratic and corrupt.

As we know Brexit is all about truth.
Maybe so, but the truth that the EU is undemocratic and corrupt still stands..that is until you can prove me otherwise.
