U K Must Pay E U Extra £1.7 Billion

[ChillDoubt]

Because our economy is growing faster than everyone else's:

So Dave gives it 'one last go to get a good deal for Britain' and gets ambushed because we're doing better than France. You really couldn't make it up.
I wonder how many still supposedly want to stay in the EU, in reference sp's poll thread the other day.
Farage must be splitting his sides at the news that the EU are doing his work for him.

I heard this on the news this morning. This extra 1.7BILLION is on top of the 8.6 BILLION(annual net contrib.) we already hand over.
The sooner we are out of the EU the better as far as I am concerned Wonder if it will ever happen though...

[Orderlimit]

'.. is a result of changes to how EU members’ economic growth over the past 18 years has been'.

The UK would have been 'fined' many more billions then had it not been for Labours disastrous term in office.

[-Talbot-]

614 million rebate for Germany, surely that's a joke?

More good news for Nigel.

[Svejk]

On the plus side, think of the rebate we'll get if Labour win the election. ;-/

If you do well financially in the UK............you pay more tax.

If you do well in the EU then you pay more to less well performing members.

Can't see the difference myself.

Yes big smile for our "Nige."

[whistonian]

I have been undecided about leaving the EU.however this shocking news has tipped the scales for me.

[Orderlimit]

'This extra 1.7BILLION is on top of the 8.6 BILLION..'

Would that sum save the NHS ?

[Sqad]

Orderlimit.......a good point.

However....one thing that i have learnt over the years is to treat any statistics, studies or reports that come out of the NHS, with marked scepticism.

I will stop short of saying...lies.

Do you really think that the "Black hole" in the NHS is only £6Billion?

\\\\Would that sum save the NHS ?\\\

Not likely.

[RastrickCrusade]

How thick can these EU people be? Timing couldn't be worse. Maybe there is a cunning plan to get rid of this Troublesome Island.

[-Talbot-]

So the Tories have put us through massive spending cuts so we can gift the EU a nice little early Christmas present?

Well done, Dave.

[Orderlimit]

OK fair one Sqad but it would certainly help no doubt (The NHS stats are similar to the inaccurate & misleading black stop & search figures then)

[Sqad]

Orderlimit......;-)

[youngmafbog]

I too await those that are fervently for the EU to come along.

Apparently Greece needs to cough up to. This is an absolute joke.

Talbot, the cuts were necessary, in fact they need to be far more. It appears this has worked rather too well as now our economy is booming compared to the EU. Reward for trying to live - more to teh bloated EU. I am not sure it is well done to Dave, it was labour that handed back our rebate as His Tonyness attempted to buy his way into the Presidency.

I wonder if Nigel has picked himself off the floor yet?

If I was PM this would be my response: rearrange these words into a common phrase or sentence... "youselves go corrupt &^k *** you"

[ToraToraTora]

the anti Britsh will be along soon to explain whay we should pay this! or perhaps even they cannot see why we should!

[lindapalmara]

How about a caveat on this extra sum. First they balance the books that have been left outstanding some 20 years or more, then wait till our huge deficit is paid off. Sounds fair to me. Why should we pay because people like Hollande have made France into a financial basket case? And for us to pay Germany too. Well, that's a turn up for the books! Bring on the referendum!

'technical decision that doesnt take into account the political realities'

I agree

[Brenden]

Seems like the EU are intent on skinting this country in an attempt to make us join the euro. The sooner we leave the better. The EU has become a dictatorship.

[ToraToraTora]

that's why I prefixed it with"IF" you wally ! WAP! have you found the law that says we have to release multiple murderers yet?
