Keen to get a European law modified? Do you have a spare £100k? Well, it seems that there are plenty of Euro MPs who will insert any amendment into a law that is going through the parliament for a small consultancy fee!
My question is, why do such MPs-who already earn £190k + expenses without need for receipt- feel the need to earn even more?
My next question is, how the hell do we control the whole issue of lobbying when it's all done through front companies and secret deals?
Should we take a leaf out of France's book and just accept the laws exist but not bother to implement them?
