    The largest part of the EU budget goes to agriculture. This money goes in large part to the richest landowners and to large corporations installing factory farming practices. The queen and Prince Charles receive over 1 million in subsidies because they just own so much land already !

    The EU agriculture policy further destroys local agriculture in Africa, because with all the subsidies, our products are dumped there at rock bottom prices, which even the local farmers in Africa can't compete with.

    The rest of the money is just being grabbed by the officials who work in the apparatus, as these two videos disgustingly prove (flip on the subs)


    Europe's retarded stance in Ukraïne as some kind of NATO puppet, showing their non-existent muscles to Russia, and backing a bunch of right-wing separatists, while the large part of Ukraïne is simply Russian minded, is yet another disfunctional domain of the "union" ( let's not forget what they did to Greece).

    The Free Trade deals that were negotiated during the world cup "open up the markets between the US and the EU", which actually boils down the fact the EU will loosen their environmental laws so US companies can come in and start fracking the shit out of the EU

    The European commissioners' jobs mainly is having meetings with lobbyists, who act as "consultants", which results in European laws tending to be the product of the lobbyists with the deepest pockets ie the largest corporations who have the bucks to send an army of lobbyists into Brussels. A couple of months ago one of our own commissioners ( Louis Michel from Belgium) got in the news because he was blindly signing his support for anti-privacy laws, apparently because some corrupt assistant was shoving the documents to support the laws under his nose to sign, which he did without reading them.

    In each case this just shows how EU laws are easily influenced by lobbyists, are centrally installed, and then apply to all the separate countries.

    The European union is disfunctional, costs incredible amounts of money, and is actually dangerous to the environment and the citizens of the countries that are part of it.

    I applaud Scotland for their effort to step out of this system and choose independence over being ruled by a small group of people who have nothing else on their agenda but fill their pockets and support a bunch of economic overlords
