Roy Dickinson on the UK’s one billion pounds paid for Turkey to join the EU:
Heat Street broke the exclusive news that a top staffer paid by the European Commission with your tax pounds was lobbying for Remain during purdah. Once caught, the European Commission’s Communications Director, Roy Dickinson, deleted his true name and created a fake handle of @oliverjsimonis. Mr. Dickinson then pretended to be his own husband when caught out by this blog’s reporter Peter Thompson.
Roy Dickinson has now added to his track record of insulting British scientists, and tweeting lies about an EU exit as ‘Facts’, by revealing that Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear is set to make a “massive intervention” shortly on behalf of Remain – in yet another tweet he deleted. Clarkson is a great personal friend of David Cameron’s, and at one stage considered standing as a Tory MP. The much-loved entertainer will carry greater approval than his political pal, but it is not known how the nation will respond to his swapping of Top Gear for Top Fear as the scaremongering from Remain ramps up to hysterical levels in the final weeks.
Clarkson may or may not approve of Dickinson’s gloating at the prospect of ‘Suicides in Solihull’ when he drives Top Fear into the nation’s living rooms. The deletion of yet another insulting Commission Staffer tweet will not save Mr. Dickinson or Top Fear: his tweets were archived and screenshot:
Mr. Dickinson has reminded Vote Leave supporters that his time costs them £180 an hour – plus VAT – to propagandise against Britain. But he has also been very helpful on the vexed issue of Turkey. George Osborne looked horribly evasive when asked by Andrew Neill if it was government policy to support Turkish accession:
Can you clear this up please George? Are you changing Govt policy or just saying Turkey won't join TODAY?!#VoteLeave pic.twitter.com/bRg0mq4pJk

in fact, it is UK government policy and the UK is presently paying one billion pounds to help Turkey accede.
Mr. Dickinson did not deny this figure of a billion pounds, or that Turkey is to join the EU. Instead – and he works at the European Commission, remember – Dickinson gloated that the UK should be delighted to “invest’ in Turkey joining the EU – this, the nation that is having Angela Merkel prosecute a comic because he “insulted’ Turkey’s thin-skinned anti-semitic President.
I’m sure Britons everywhere will be delighted to see a billion pounds spent on Turkey joining the EU while George Osborne lies about it.
Realising that he had let the cat out of the bag by admitting how much the UK was paying to let Turkey join the EU, the Commission Staffer then deleted his tweet – alas! not quickly enough.
Top Fear’s Jeremy Clarkson might call George Osborne’s Turkey evasion “A Man in a Reasonably Priced Car Crash”.
