ONE of the Conservative MEPs at the centre of a row over expenses has been replaced as the party's chief whip in Brussels.
Den Dover denies breaking any rules in paying his wife and daughter a reported £750,000 for work over nine years.

The Conservatives said the move was unrelated to the issue of expenses and was a "matter of course".

On Thursday, Giles Chichester, the party's leader in Brussels, was forced to quit after he admitted breaking rules on expenses.

Meanwhile, David Cameron, the Conservative leader, yesterday said he was sending Hugh Thomas, the party's head of financial compliance, to Brussels next week to sort out Tory MEPs' expenses.

"Den" the news reports have been saying "Den."

Kind of ruins the laugh I've been having over some poor soul named Ben Dover.

Dammit.

Many will be intrigued by the fact that, Giles Chichester, the other disgraced UK Tory at the European Parliament, represents the constitituency of
South-West England AND Gibralter?

Must be a leftover from the British Empire!

Hey, Mister Bend Over did nothing wrong as he kept within the rules!!!

Oh, that must be alright then?

The EU is totally corrupt so no wonder that their own Auditors have refused to sign their Accounts for over 10 years now!
