Barosso saves Ireland, from freedom & justice

As I mentioned, Barosso has overseen the bank putsch in Ireland.

This can be the only conclusion if anybody followed how the crisis
began in Ireland.

The rules under which the banks gambled and lent fake money to
one another was under the supervision of Ireland but also of the EU.

If those banks failed, they should have gone bankrupt. Instead, the
Irish people are being enslaved.

Now, some time ago, Irish MEP Joe Higgins complained about this,
to Barosso. And got a flippant response:

Higgins: "you enslave the working people...
the financial markets that lead you around by the nose"

Barosso: "the irresponsible behaviour of some Irish institutions
and by the lack of supervision in the Irish market"



So, by this Barosso thinks it's Ireland that should clean up after an
international banking crisis. That's only because he's unelected.
What petty potentate wouldn't act in this way?

I hope to see how flippant Barosso will be after the crisis leads
to far right and far left parties who want to curtail Brussels, and
its extravagant expenses.

Commissioners travelled in limousines, stayed in five star hotels and splashed out on lavish gifts including Tiffany jewellery as their member states faced savage budget cuts and rising EU taxes.

An investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism into spending by the EU executive has shown that more than €7.5m (£6.6m) was spent on private jet travel for commissioners between 2006 and 2010.

Baroness Ashton, the British EU foreign minister, came under fire when it was reported that she had demanded her own private jet less than 100 days into her new role in March last year.

Tens of thousands more was spent accommodating commissioners at luxury five star resorts in exotic locations such as Papua New Guinea, Ghana and Vietnam, the spending figures show.

The Commission also ran up a bill of more than €300,000 (£263,511) for lavish cocktail parties, including an event in Amsterdam costing €75,000, which was described as “a night filled with wonder like no other”. ....

European Commission President Barroso Spends €249,000 On Private Jets In Just 9 Months

0 0 European tax revenue is paying for more than bailouts for debt-stricken nations. It's also providing private jets, top-tier hotel rooms, and Tiffany jewelry to European Commission members, according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (via The Guardian).

Their report details extravagant spending by the European Commission and its president, Jose Manuel Barroso. Here are some of ways the Commission has squandered millions of euros:

•Barroso's office racked up €249,000 on charges for private jets in just 9 months. During this period, he attended the UN conference on climate change.
•Barroso and eight assistants spent €28,000 on a four-night stay at New York's Peninsula Hotel.
•The commission spent €20,000 on gifts for guest speakers including Tiffany jewelry, cuff links, and fountain pens between 2008-2009.
•€300,000 was spent on cocktail parties, including one blowout €75,000 night in Amsterdam

Despite these charges, the European Commission is asking for a 4.9% increase in its budget.
