How Brussels spends YOUR money as if it grows on trees:
In a devastating dispatch, we reveal how Eurocrats live a life of staggering excess - 10,000 earn more than the PM's £150,000 - while taking decisions that affect all our lives in secret
A strange atmosphere hangs over Brussels.

On the one hand, there is Donald Tusk, President of the European Council (representing all 28 EU governments), warning of Armageddon if Britain votes to leave the European Union on Thursday.
As he told a German interviewer last week: 'I fear Brexit could be the beginning of the destruction of not only the EU but also Western political civilisation in its entirety.'
But you won't hear a squeak on the subject from most people in the vast glass-and-steel bureaucratic palaces across this city.

As an EU fromage of great magnitude, Mr Tusk can get away with saying this sort of thing.
Lesser Eurocrats are under strict orders to say nothing on the subject, for fear of adding any further heat to the issue.
There has even been a ban on using the word 'Brexit' in official communications.
Given the whopping great perks and privileges bestowed on those who work for the European Union, no one is going to step out of line.
...Just take the wage bill of the 47,000 people who work inside the bubble.
Refill, sir? Jean-Claude Juncker at a Brussels working lunch before he became European Commission president in 2014
...Just take the wage bill of the 47,000 people who work inside the bubble.
Since 2010, it has been British policy to disclose the number of government officials earning more than our Prime Minister, who gets paid just shy of £150,000.
In Britain, the latest figure stands at 319.
And the equivalent number for the EU?
According to documents leaked ahead of the last European elections two years ago, EU tax perks mean that at least 10,000 EU employees are taking home more than David Cameron..."
