True.

But still, £8.9bn is small change for an economy the size of the UK.

Oh, and btw, I thought it was meant to save us £18.2bn. (£350m/week * 52 = £18.2bn)

You should look at the net contribution, not the gross. I think a few other other people have been caught out by the figures.

If you include the tariffs we are forced to pay for certain agricultural products from outside the EU, we're probably way over the quoted figure.

You do realise that the main function of tariffs is to protect local (EU and by extension UK) farmers right? How much agricultural imports do we have from outside EU that are from countries we don't already have FTA with?
