OK smartarse, that £245m is per annum, so not even 1 weeks donation to the EU charity.

Be interested to see how many people who voted leave did so for the following reasons:-
1. Immigration will stop immediately and we'll eventually throw people out.
2. All the money that goes to the EU will now go and save the NHS.
Im betting theres going to be a fair percentage. I also wonder how many people in Ebbw Vale who voted Leave actually realise what parts of their town were rebuilt using EU money?
I'm not totally surprised. The valleys is like a timewarp in terms of attitude - my own Dad is the same. And there are some VERY VERY small minded and stupid people who still live there (my own family included). They'd believe any crap someone in the street/friends tell them (as does my Dad).
(BTW - Im allowed to say this having been born and brought up there).Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
