EU chiefs have set up an office on the Caribbean island of Barbados employing 39 staff and costing taxpayers £2 million a year.

Officials have £230 million of funding to dole out on projects which include retraining banana growers

I am all for the Caribbean Islands getting aid...European policies have decimated the banana trade with the fomer french Islands and South America getting all the concessions. However, do they really need 39 staff to do it

perhaps all 39 are fully qualified trainers, after all it is going to be a long, hard and lucrative slog retraining bannana workers who lose their jobs because of changing European Union rules on where Joe Public can or cannot get his bannanas from.

Thats a stonking €5.9million per employee to play with. I wonder what level of bureaucrat you have to be to authorise such cheques.

Perhaps less meddling in other countries affairs and get back to resolving their own.

Farage for President of the European Union - ooops not possible the President isnt elected.
