This is a real fridges to Eskimos story. 13 million €uros - rolls off the tongue easily, each €uro has been paid in taxes.  :thdwn:

I liked the comment (in the report ) about where the EU got them from ,which wasn't really explained .



 So somebody in the EU  has brought a few camels , well 250 of them ,realised they have made a hash of camel trading and got their money back by giving them away to a country that doesn't want them .  I have a feeling the Camels either never existed or they are already existing Camels in Mauretania and its just a paper (the folding type) juggling exercise .

No not coals to Newcastle but 250 camels to Mauritania as part of an aid package,yes that's a country that already has more camels than people.



Who thought this was a good idea? Three wise men from Brussels perhaps,just goes to show how politicians are profligate with other people's money,still perhaps some eu lover on here will convince it was money well spent.
