The post you are reporting:
From Lord Pearson to me by email tonight.
The EU and the Economy,He must be looking in on my post about the Economy I am doing,so tonight I will write out what he has said.
"It is dishonest to talk about repairing our economy without mentioning the colossal cost of our EU membership"
In 2008, the latest year for which the Government statistics are available:
The Grovernment spent:£7070billion.
Less what it raised in tax:£540billion =
a resultant"deficit2of £167billion.
A. The TaxPayers "Alliance estimates the overrall cost of our EU membership at "£120billion per annum(over-regulation,loss of our fishing,extra food costs of £1000 per family per annum,etc)
Of this ,in 2008, £16.4 billion went in CASH to Brussels.
£16.4billion pa= £45 million pounds aday(gross)-our slogan
£45million per day pays for 2,125 nurses, for a year at £21.000pa, So "For the money we send the EU every day ,we could pay the annual salaries of 2,125 nurses.
The Email goes on to say this.
But Brussels gives back some of what we send(£billion per annum for our farmers)If this point is raised, the folling are the net cash figures:
In 2008 the Government says we sent to Brussels netcash of £6.0billion from public expenditure would send the economy into disaster.
The net cash for this year is estimated at £9.7 billion.
To "earth"this figure for the voters, £9.7billion= £26 million per day,which pays for 1,225 nurses a day,So the net cash we are sending this year to Brussels, never to see any of it again, pays for 21,225 nurses a day.There is more to this email and i will write it out tomorrow night. Thank you.
