I have no respect for you..
I'm gutted! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
So you should be..
Bugger! That was a nice drop of whisky wasted! I bet the keyboard will be sticky in the morning. (n)
It's not whisky that makes your keyboard sticky....
It is in my case.
I can't speak on your behalf. :oops:
I guess you're more experienced in these matters than me.
I know that whisky doesn't make things sticky..
 
thanks for that gasbanni. It actually shows that our net contribution is less than that claimed by the Brexit bunch.
Year 2000, net contribution £5Bn
year 2010 net contribution £7Bn
If we want to trade with EU following Brexit we'll still be paying about £4Bn and have no say in it.
Or, alternatively our exports will be subject to EU import tariffs.

Whatever the precise figure may be, it's still one heck of a lot of money. If you want to say that the 2010 net contribution was "only" £7 billion, that's still over £19 million per day which could be spent on far better things. The contribution for 2000, "only" £5 billion but that's still over £13 million per day.

So let them be subject to import tariffs, just as they are in many other parts of the world.
 
"That 40 - 45p per per person, per day would be..."

used by the Tory government to cut taxes for the rich, or baling out big business.

You know they wouldn't be spending it on health or education or infrastructure. And they couldn't spend it all on increasing MPs pay and expenses. Could they?

Individuals should not let their party leanings sway their decision on the EU referendum. If the country votes to leave, there will be up to 4 years for the current government to decide how to distribute the EU contributions within the UK. If we don't agree, the 2020 general election will give us all another say in the matter.

Indeed, especially since the leadership of both the Conservative party and the Labour party is committed to continued membership of the EU anyway. When it comes to the EU, they're not blue and red, just slightly different shades of purple.
