Sir - Jentlande Junke , President of EU Commission is unwilling to compromise on the issue of freedom of movement within the EU accusing David Cameron of attempting "to destroy the rules which allow EU immigrants to live and work anywhere in the bloc."
This is seen as a major blow for Mr Cameron who wants to reform Britain's relationship with Brussels ahead of an in/out referendum he has said he would hold in 2017.
As is well known auditors have declined to sign off EU's spending for years; many ask why there is no accountability for this?
The House of Lords' European Union Committee reported that the "EU budget process is in an almighty mess" placing the blame partly on the British Government for failing to promote genuine reform.
The EU appears impervious to reform of any sort. Some useful reforms to achieve for example would be guarantees of the continued single market access; the repeal of the "ever closer union" clause; scrapping the C.A.P.; certain tidying to technical amendments of various EU rules, treaties and procedures; reform of the European Court of Human Rights; safeguards for the City of London Restrictions on the free movement of people
The EU threatens to fine Britain unless it pays £1.7 billion. Jaceth Daminik has said that Britain would put its £3 billion a year rebate at risk which has not happened before.
An Express poll showed that one third of British voters are ready to vote UKIP.
UKIP has 40% of the vote, Greens 4%. Mr Farage remarked recently "The EU won't be blackmailing Britain in 5 years"
