MEP Spokesperson David Craig I/V Opps
The EU Election is on 4th June but who cares?
All we have are the usual unknown non-entities, desperately hoping for a lucrative seat on the Brussels gravy train. Meanwhile most voters can’t be bothered wasting their time voting for self-serving third-raters with no ideas and no policies.
There is, however, reason to be hopeful. David Craig, the author who last year uncovered Gordon’s Brown’s massive overspending in his bestseller Squandered: How Gordon Brown is wasting over £1 trillion of our money has now turned his attention to the EU in his latest book The Great European Rip-Off (Random House,£8.99).
In The Great European Rip-Off: How the Corrupt, Wasteful EU is Taking Control of our Lives Craig exposes the shocking greed, arrogance, incompetence and corruption that are the hallmark of today’s EU.
If the media want new and refreshingly honest opinions about what is going right and wrong in Brussels and Strasbourg, then David Craig is the person to talk to.
1. Greed, expenses fraud and cover-ups by MEPs as they become millionaires in just 5 years
2. How the European commissioners are often tarnished third-raters sent to Brussels to keep them out of domestic politics
3. The lack of democracy as 80% of our laws are now made by 27 unelected bureaucrats
4. The importance of this year’s elections – the last act in a fight to the death between centuries of democracy and a centralising bureaucracy
5. How the European Parliament is a powerless hot air factory with little power
6. The failure of all the EU’s main policies – agricultural, fisheries, carbon emissions, biofuels etc
7. Widespread waste and corruption throughout the EU – why no action is ever taken.
Moreover, Craig was so disgusted with the rot that he found permeating all areas of the EU bureaucracy, that he is standing as a candidate for Libertas in the EU elections. While most of our MEPs have used their seats in the European Parliament to enrich themselves at the taxpayers’ expense, Libertas successfully campaigned in Ireland for a rejection of the dreadful Lisbon Treaty. By doing this, Libertas achieved more in one year than our European politicians have achieved in the last thirty years.
In Brussels they’re not listening because they no longer care what voters want. David Craig is one of the few people in Britain prepared to stand up against the Brussels bureaucracy to force them to listen.

Editors Note: David Craig is the pen name for Neil Glass, who self-published his first book ‘Rip Off’ when none of the major publishing companies wanted to take a chance on a book revealing the corruption that goes on at management consultancies, many of whom they worked with on other books. Following sales well into five figures, David turned his attention to the public sector in his book, ‘Plundering the Public Sector,’ a look at New Labour’s massive overspending on consultancies. His next book, ‘Squandered: How Gordon Brown is wasting over £1 trillion of our money’ was published last year and became a bestseller. David is now a highly successful author and public speaker.
