The post you are reporting:
Chris,
Could I suggest that you read my post again?
Let me see if I can clarify for you. Our current NET cash contribution to the EU is £6.4 billion per annum. This figure will rise to more than £10 billion NET once we lose our rebate.
However, INCLUDING INDIRECT COSTS, such as "red tape" the true cost that we bare is estimated to be £120 billion a year.
As you can see, any subsidy that we would subsequently need to provide for our OWN farmers etc., could afford to be met.
As I seem to be answering all the questions, let me ask yourself and Marek one or two. You mention the loss of the UK`s "rebate" that Margaret Thatcher won for this country, only for the Cheshire cat Blair to come along and voluntarily surrender it. Fact. Perhaps you could enlighten me as to how this country benefited financially from this daft move and whether you consider this was done in the best interests of the British public? ( UKIP objected to this )
Secondly, did you think it was a good idea for Prudence Brown, the financial wizard, to flog off about half of our gold reserves at a rock bottom price primarily to support the ailing Euro?
Mind you, I suppose they did require a few extra quid from us in order to enable them to give the Kinnock`s the £10 million or so that they`ve had out of the EU system. Nice work if you can get it!
