Marta’s new book

Gets an airing in the Christopher Booker column.

Another, perhaps less obvious, reason why Britain has lost respect is reflected in a shocking new book, published tomorrow, entitled Brussels Laid Bare, by the EU’s sacked former chief accountant, Marta Andreasen. The outline of her story has long been familiar. In 2002, as the first qualified accountant to be given the job, she was appointed to sort out the EU’s accounts, which for six years running had not been cleared by the EU’s Court of Auditors due to a maze of “irregularities”.

It’s shocking, shocking stuff.
