        All they've done is craftily disguised the second installment - It's so easy to fool most of the people most of the time

          This is because the UK's annual rebate will be offset against the sum due.
          So it's all being paid, just obfuscated (now that's a shock!!!).

            Indeed, there will also be some creative accountancy going on here.

              Some incisive comments on Order Order, as usual

              Read the German and French newspapers over the coming days and we’ll all soon see what has really gone on behind closed doors.

              Osborne trying to spin his way out of disaster. UK still paying full £1.7bn, his credibility is about to nose dive.
              UK will settle full £1.7bn with EU. £850m will be paid from Treasury. £850m in UK rebate (that would normally be paid in 2016) used for rest
              George Osborne is a funny one, his movements seem so lifelike sometimes it’s easy to forget he’s not a real boy.

                If, as above, it's as transparent as a rebate-in-lieu, he's fecked.

                  Wonder how many Brits would have been "outraged" if there was a rebate and Germany had to pay
